[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 855407, member: 34818"] Personally, I have never taken a Quartering away shot and probably never will. I have always waited for a frontal chest shot or broadside shot. Now if I was using a solid such as a barnes bullet, then I MIGHT attempt it. Otherwise, if I don't get the shot that I want, I either don't take the shot or wait. In doing this, I have never lost an animal or ever had a problem with a bullet "failing". I dont believe that bullet manufacturers ever state that their bullet will take game while the animal is in an undesirable position for someone to be shooting at it in the first place. Especially an animal as big as a moose. I believe this whole thread has been a valuable lesson for some people who may never post but have read the thread. This thread may save a lot of people some trouble by deciding not to take that kind of shot. I am sure also that these guys were not some guys that just loaded up some rounds and went moose hunting. They sound educated in reloading to me but decided that to take an undesirable shot based on the performance of the berger bullets on other animals that they have killed. I am sure that they have learned a valuable lesson as well. [/QUOTE]
