[QUOTE="bowhunter42, post: 797082, member: 32635"] I agree with ya on this statement topshot, 331 yds is not a longrange shot at all, the point I was trying to make was I didnt trust the bullet I had to make a clean ethical one shot kill on this bull, and if I had a controlled expansion bullet, knowing my equipment and shooting ability I would have taken the shot knowing full well I could have slipped that bullet into the vitals. And like you when im shooting at animals at "longrange " which to me is 600 + yds I wait for a broadside shot to present itself. You might find this kinda interesting, this last September I took a mule deer buck @1185 yds the vld hit just behind the front right shoulder clipped a rib destroyed the heart and lungs and part of the bullet exited mid body on the left side but when I was quartering it up to load in the pack I was skinning out the right rear quarter and found the nose jacket of the 197 gn vld just inside of the skin on the inside of the rear quarter! All I can think of is when the bullet hot the rib it came apart and the jacket traveled along the body under the skin and came to rest there, and this was a full on broadside shot. The deer took 4 steps stood there for a second and then fell over dead. [/QUOTE]
