[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2427950, member: 116620"] In 1980 on a Colorado mule deer hunt , I shot a big 5x5 mule deer with my 300 wby using Sierra 168 gr International match boat tail bullets , it too 2 shots one from the front and one from broadside . I can still see him in my mind as that second shot took him off his feet in the air as he hit the ground . The bullet entered just far enough and blew up too kill him ,no exit. I didn’t have a clue about bullet construction etc . Accuracy was my main goal , this story is a good example of the wrong bullet for the task at hand , and the nut behind the trigger. I got lucky never have killed one bigger since. [/QUOTE]
