[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1313144, member: 14204"] I totally agree! However, sometimes the follow-up shot(s) is just as important. While the one shot kill is ideal, that is not often the case as Murphy never discriminate. Case in point, in 2013 I shot my MT bull elk at 931 yards with 190 Berger VLD off my .300 WM but the elk managed to run ~200 yards. My buddy shot another bull elk off the same herd at ~300 yards with 180 Berger VLD off his 7MM Rem Mag and it was DRT. Two weeks earlier, my other hunting buddy shot a bull elk but took him 3 shots of 180 Barnes TTSX off his .300 WM at <100 yards. IMHO, all shot placements were good, bullets did their job, but all 3 elk expired differently. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
