[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1106081, member: 12995"] Any bullet/caliber can do that...Shot placement is key, and also every animal reacts differently to being shot. Some hit the ground, some hit the ground then get back up and run, and some just take off running... It's a crap-shoot, you just never know. If I were you, I'd look at the Berger 168 VLD in the 7mm-08. I had the same thing happen with a deer last year with a 168 VLD and my 7mmRM, but it was at around 175 yards. As for the 7RUM, I would stick with the 180's... It is a much more efficient bullet option for a case that size. Also, the Berger 180 VLD and Hybrid will spin in a 9-twist barrel just fine, whereas the ABLR is more of a bore-rider type bullet (longer bearing surface), so it requires a faster twist to stabilize it.
