[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 1564232, member: 87214"] This thread is comical, it’s amazing at the difference people can have or think they have had. I’ve shot at least 40 whitetails with my 270 using 150 gr VLDs bergers. Most right around 100 yds a few around 400 yd. Ive hit them in shoulders, behind shoulders, frontal and a few shots to far back! But never had one not kill the animal. Ive shot many hogs too right in shoulders all dead. Most passed thru a few did not but still dead! I must be just lucky sounds like I should of only found about half of what I shot based on some of you. To be honest Ive taken well over 300 big game animals with bullets of all kinds, i have never felt like the bullet itself was a cause of non recovery it was always me not making the right shot. Heck everyone is a crack shot right! So it has to be the bullet! No I have seen so many animals recovered later but the hunter swore he saw perfect hit and hit not be anywhere close to where they said. One guy at elk camp said he had frontal hit on nice bull square in middle of chest. Said he saw hair fly. They trailed half a mile lost him. Two days later another guy shot him. 1st guy hit about 4” under his jaw in neck, blew big chunk out back of his neck. For 2 days straight everyone in camp was blaming his 7RM and to light 140gr bullet! Had bull not been killed, to this day 30 plus people would of been convinced that gun or bullet was to blame!
