[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2953257, member: 9299"] I do understand your statement, but after having seen decades of hunters making poorly placed shots with everything from 243's, up through heavy magnums, 444's, 45-70's and 12 gauge slugs, often, that isn't the case. Even with very good hits with larger calibers, game can run a distance before expiring, and with larger game, they can absorb multiple hits. Elk shoulders have done some unexpected things to large bullets, and African game can also. Personally, the few people I find like myself willing to purposefully hunt with a 224 caliber tend to make better decisions in shot placement, bullet selection, etc. I find the practice very similar to my handgun hunting in that respect.
