[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2975151, member: 117774"] From what I saw at the skinning shed, the first shot went through the near side ham and got into the far side backstrap. Jello was present throughout the ham and 75% had to be tossed. As the bull spun around, the second shot went thru the center of the near front shoulder turning most of it into jello and got into both tenderloins. The bullets used were 180 gr partitions from a 300 win mag. I didn't ask if they were handloads or factories. I've had 140 partitions from a 284 win literally disintergrate inside a mouflon ram as I found numerous 3 to 7 grain pieces throughout the body cavity. Most pieces were just slivers of copper but there were some copper lead fragments too. From then on I've used strictly monos on game. I know these were horrible shots, but had the person been using Hammers, perhaps a second shot on the bull would not have been necessary. [/QUOTE]
