[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1497368"] So because of the steep angle the bullet passed through the very top of the lungs and didn't do much damage to the internals. The bull dropped instantly because his spine was shattered, unfortunately he required a dispatch shot when I got closer, I really couldn't believe it wasn't an instant kill.. I tried recovering the bullet but the spine was a mess of sharp bone fragments and I gave up digging for it. I guess one thing I learned is its probably good to hold a little low on upward shots, that way the bullet will travel up through all those vital vs. Passing up through the top. I planned on using my 7mm on this hunt but I had a scope base issue at the last minute, I would definitely have preferred shooting him with a 180 at that range.. [/QUOTE]
