[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1739524, member: 103317"] The scenario is interesting. I also have seen some pretty crazy results with several bullets that I have shot at game over the years. This year I shot an antelope at 545 yards with a 140 grain Berger Elite Hunter out of a 6.5 x 284 travelling at 2750 fps. The antelope was down hill from my location quartering away but on an uphill slope. I had a dead rest and when I pulled the trigger the Antelope just dropped, never even kicked. I was tickled to say the least. When I skinned the antelope the bullet had gone in high mid rib cage which was exactly where I was aiming, but instead of going out through the lungs and out the bottom of the animal it somehow took a right turn and hit the spine right at the junction of the base of the skull, completely shattering the backbone. The lungs were toast and no signs of any trauma on the underside of the animal at all. I think the answer you are looking for is non existent, sometimes "things happens" is the only way to explain it. [/QUOTE]
