[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 13283, member: 1622"] JB, Hard to be sure from the pics, but it looks like that bullet must have passaged right through the centre of the chest cavity. Makes the observed reaction to shot sound weird (I don't mean that judgementally, I just mean that I would have guessed a far less satisfactory hit based on the observed reaction to shot that you described. Humping up etc. would have me certain that the shot was a gut hit [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] But then again you chaps are taking on beasts at about double my personal range limit (and, therefore, experience). Do you attribute the peculiar reaction (to what looks like a spot-on and -normally-quickly lethal hit) to the reduced vel/ energy at the range of this shot, or the actual performance of the projectile itself? Impressive shot; but you also can't ignore a hat like that. It's...er...impressive too [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] PS. What were the wind conditions?
