[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2534694, member: 117774"] Yep - a few years ago I backed up a shot made by one of my hunting partners on a bull hit with a 338 Lapua right under the spine but above the shoulder structure. The bull had traveled 3/4 of a mile following the herd when it came by me. I stopped the bull with a TTSX 168 that traveled diagonal from just in front of the near ham to the middle of the far shoulder. It wasn't dead when we got to it, but never moved after the hit. Barnes bullets have accounted for 30 animals for me in the last 15 years and another 15 or 20 for my friends that I load for. I've had nosler partitions completely come apart on two occasions - apparently a bad batch of 140 Gr 7MM partitions and a friend had a few unfortunate results with Bergers from what he described as perfect hits on bulls in Colorado. He claimed the Hunting Bergers didn't penetrate into the vitals after a quartering shoulder hit. I know he is a excellent range shooter, but I've never seen him shoot in the field, so I could not confirm his accousations. [/QUOTE]
