[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2464906, member: 42157"] Love it and we need more of it. A couple big ones for me and I knew better. Never taped a muzzle brake to keep rain out. Sure as heck it was raining hard and a bull came by at 100 yards. Clueless I was there and it was a chip shot. Saw the hit and he took off going towards the cliffs. I had time to hit him again and my gun was locked up could not move the bolt. He went over the edge as I was trying to chamber new round. Went to where he was and yep hair blood and it was a decent amount. Beat the bolt open and water in my barrel had hydraulic over pressured it. Lost the blood trail in the rocks about a mile later due to the rain and never found the bull. Obviously the water caused major POI change and a chip shot was a shtick shot. Shot a bull across a canyon only about 550. He went down after a couple steps with head up. I was going to shoot him again and my brother stopped me. “I saw the hit he is down don’t shoot him again just a waste of meat”. We are getting the horses and SOB he got up and walked over the hill into the next canyon. Never found that bull either. Again we both knew better and never before nor ever again. If it’s head up or moving we put another round or two into Elk. [/QUOTE]
