[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1749937, member: 26477"] Obviously I have practiced shooting this caliber hundreds of times. I have shot it from every position I feel I am capable of shooting weeding out the ones I am not comfortable with. The number one key to any quick kill is bullet placement. But the key to bullet placement is practice, practice, practice. You learn the limitations of the rifle and, I assure you, this was not an off-hand shot. If the area I was hunting was prone to wind gusts I would have been hunting with my 300RUM which I know is better for that type of situation. I have turned down taking shots I was not sure of making by 50 to 1. Fortunately for me, the person who introduced me into shooting emphasized shot placement was the key to shooting an animal to make a quick kill. If I don't feel that I can do it for the animals sake I never take the shot. [/QUOTE]
