[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1963513, member: 10755"] I think your question should be about a ‘what if’ my bullet (215gr Berger) hits poorly but has the correct velocity. No body knows if an animal is going to take a step, start to lay down or stand up just as the trigger is squeezed. Can you rely on a high shoulder hit that is slightly off anchoring the animal so you can put another in? I lost an animal due to this, missed the spine, lungs and only hit the tip of the ulna (sic) the animal dropped, but rose quickly and spun to turn full tilt into the thick stuff. No shot could be taken, the animal was glassed the next day feeding with what appeared no ill effects. The bullet I used was a .338 225gr Accubond...go figure. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
