[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2267105, member: 10755"] I will say this once from experience. A poorly selected bullet in the right place does not always get the animal…. You have to have both good shot placement and a bullet up to the task. Have seen far too many deer shot with poor bullets from a 243 that it has had me gobsmacked that those bullets had been chosen for anything bigger than a rabbit. I have also had niche bullets fail to expand at range even though shot placement was perfect. Have had the right bullet hit the wrong place and lost an animal, only to see the same animal ALIVE the next year. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
