[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 333278, member: 11717"] You seem to want to be argumentative. I asked you a few questions a while back, like what you meant by "shot placement". Let's apply it to the subect of this thread. So, I am asking you... would you take this shot with the same bullet knowing full well it will not expand? By shot placement, are you saying you are intending to put a shot through the heart of this deer at 1007 yds? Or, are you planning to place the bullet in the general area of the vitals, knowing it will likely pencil through. Please answer the question and dont continue to be vague. IMO, you have already contradicted yourself in the other thread by saying you would choose the 475 handgun over the more accurate 22-250 for shooting a bear. Why would you not put a 77 gr SMK in the 22-250 and place the shot exactley where you want instead of choosing the hardcast bullet out of the 475? I have already told you this once so read it again carefully and pay attention... I do not separate shot placement and bullet performance. One does not trump the other... get it??? They are both critical. If I do not feel that I can accurately place the shot but the bullet will perform, I dont make the shot. If I feel that I can make the shot, but the bullet will not perform, I dont make the shot. Do you understand that? Is that *simple* concept *hard* for you to understand? You are definuitely missing the point or evading trying to be pinned down. Would you make this shot know that the bullet will pencil through??? [/QUOTE]
