[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 2950413, member: 75895"] I ”feel” for you since I did the same thing this year in new Mexico on a 365” bull. Hit him in the front shoulder with a quartering to me shot at a tad over 200 yards shooting a 180 Berger Elite. Best we could think is the bullet exploded and never penetrated the vitals. We searched for a combination of 2 1/2 days. 300 WSM, 180 Berger with a velocity of 3048 fps….go figure. [/QUOTE]
