[QUOTE="JakeM300winnie, post: 1407475, member: 104834"] Heres an idea. Everyone can carry two different loads when hunting. We will shoot the first shot through both shoulders with a Barnes bullet to slow them down. Then your second shot goes behind the shoulder with a Berger, vaporizing any of the organs that are left. If that doesn't work, I quit! Lol But in all seriousness, we can't expect them all to drop in their tracks like in those great long range videos. It seems to be less than 50% for me. Usually the animal is dead on it's feet, going 30 yds. Or more. I shot an elk one time at about 250 yds. With a 190 Berger . The first shot I thought I missed. He didn't flinch, I didn't seen hair move or anything . He took off finally , then stopped and turned around to go the opposite direction with the herd. I shot 2 more times behind the shoulder, again no evidence that I was even hitting him. Then he tipped over finally after running another 50 yds. Upon inspection , I had made 3 perfectly placed shots.[ATTACH]91396[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
