[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1017390"] I have taking one LR shot on game unless 300 yards is LR then 2. A pig quartering away at 11oclock, 535 yards. Pig looking to 9oclock The intended shot to be behind the elbow, though the ribs and lungs and out the spine. Shot POI elevation was with a fraction of an inch margin of POA. Windage may have been 1" off to the left in 5 to 7mph. The bullet glanced off the rib entered the ear and exited the forehead. DRT. I got to keep everything including all the ribs and pork ribs rock.... If the 300 yard shot counts it was a spine hit dead above the shoulder blade. DRT. I was aiming traditionally but had not practiced off hand with that rifle and did not know that I would get muzzle rise in the follow through no matter how hard I tried. If I had attempted a head shot, I would just have missed. So in the "real" world, I don't believe any of what you say about body shots being preferred. [/QUOTE]
