[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2337389, member: 60453"] From what he was saying, I think he may have been trying for a high chest-spine shot for instant immobilization. That's a good shot, but really hard to pull off at 500 yards with anything in field conditions. Shooting from a less than perfect rest, it becomes harder and if your cone of fire is 4 inches (which is a group size of 0.75 at 100 yards-and a good group from a hunting rifle) an outlier could generate a miss if you were perfect. He just tried for the wrong aim point at the distance. It happens. Wish I could have had a shot like that this year. At least he got a cow and a shot at a nice bull. I spent 8 days and saw only three fresh tracks. I did see about 50 or 60 mulies, and some within 30 feet of me. That was fun. [/QUOTE]
