[QUOTE="Scrubbit, post: 869777, member: 71886"] Shot a moose at 850 yards this fall with a 300 WM and 210g VLD. First shot was a direct spine hit. Moose fell over as if struck by lightning but got up 10 to 15s later. Put down with heart shot after that. While dressing, found that the spine was not broken although the bullet had hit it directly in the "V" of the spine while broadside. The fragmented bullet had jellied a large portion of the adjacent vitals. My point is that if the bullet didn't break the spine, it probably wouldn't break the shoulder either. For large game, I'll stick with lung/heart shots at extended ranges. [/QUOTE]
