[QUOTE="Send it 284, post: 2056259, member: 115872"] Thanks for sharing and congrats on a job well done. I'm ashamed to say it but I hit a real nice 6x6 this season at 800 yards in the lungs and rear shoulder with two 175 ABLRs. That bull rolled down the mountain then got up and left the country. He bled very little, and it dried up completely within a few hundred yards. I tracked him for two days in the snow, and miles later eventually lost the trail. My spotter confirmed that both shots were right in the vitals, all I can come up with is that the bullets didn't expand violently enough to cause much internal damage. This was an eye opening experience for me, I've never lost an animal that was hard hit. I was pretty down on hunting with non bonded bullets but for LR I'll be using Bergers from here on out.
