[QUOTE="Send it 284, post: 2122759, member: 115872"] First shot was rear shoulder and he went down after a few steps I sent another while he was down and it looked like a perfect center lung hit, he went flat and rolled down the mountain into a nasty ravine. It was almost dark and I figured he was dead for sure. I hiked in the next morning and found the blood slide in the snow. I followed it to the bottom and there was no bull! I started tracking and kicked him out of thick timber, he tore off like he was fine. I tracked him for over 2 miles up and over several steep mountain peaks, ended up losing the trail a few days later. Pretty bad deal, I've never lost a rifle bull. One thing I noticed is there was very little blood, even in his bed where I bumped him. Impact velocity was around 2000 fps, I had a spotter who verified the location of both shots and I saw the impacts as well. I can't say for sure what happened with those bullets without a recovery but I definitely won't be using them again. [/QUOTE]
