[QUOTE="Hntbambi, post: 444093, member: 12797"] I have always matched the bullet to the game, not a one size fits all just because it shoots great. For pronghorn and deer sized game, a plain jane bullet that shoots well is the ticket. They are not hard to kill and controlled expansion and bonded bullets are working against you, unless you are shooting a super fast cartridge and have to be ready for shots from 25-500 yards. Trout-n-salmon, I don't consider any of the instances you mentioned as bullet failure. You recovered the game, even though you may have pumped multiple shots into it (needed or not). For chest shots rarely do animals drop right there. With circulatory impacts, they have to bleed out. The higher the shot is on the carcass, that's how deep the blood must be inside to start running out. Bears have thick hides that soak up a lot of blood. I'd guess the same goes for goats and sheep. A high shoulder shot will also sever the spinal cord and they drop on the shot. [/QUOTE]
