[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1270192, member: 90071"] Well toddc I have been hunting out west almost every year for the last 20 years and have killed plenty of animals in my 26 years of hunting. The fact of the matter is that I am not a prefect shot as you must be and have done my fair share of missing. Believe it or not there are a lot of factors when shooting that affect accuracy and I don't have control over all of them hence why I miss once in awhile. I don't know how many wisconsin deer you have shot but I have shot a lot and even deer shot with my 338 in the lungs can still run quite a ways. From experience I found that continuing to shoot till the animal is down or out of sight is the most ethical way of harvesting animals.I have personally see way to many wounded animals that are not recovered because the hunter said his one shot was good and he let the animal run away. I don't think longer hand loads for my gun would be overly helpful since the factory match grade already shoots 1/4MOA But maybe thats the difference between my custom and your savage. [/QUOTE]
