[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2000358, member: 38048"] One bad result on a bad shot placement wouldn't phase me in the least. If you get multiple failures on good hits then it's time for a change. Bullet technology is better today than it's ever been but you still need to do your part and put it where it needs to go for a clean kill. Not all animals are the same either. Some just die hard. Some easy. I shot a deer through the lungs with my 257wby that ran 20 yards with lung soup. Most deer hit like that drop like they were struck by lightning. Shot a doe with a 30-06 with a 150 gn bullet right through the heart. It was in pieces. She ran 100 yards at least. I can't say the bullet or cartridge failed. Just a tough dang deer. Shot placement is absolutely the most important part. Don't discount the cartridge your using with one bad outcome from a poor shot. Same thing may have happened with a 300 mag of some kind also.
