[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1562951, member: 90453"] 180 accubond from a 300 winmag, 2900 FPS at the muzzle. Shot(s) were 375 yards, slightly quartering towards but almost full broadside. First shot was while he was walking, could hear solid impact and he stopped and looked at me. After the third shot I could see blood dripping. Just as I was centering up for the 6th shot he fell over dead. I recovered 2 bullets, his lungs were mush, big hemotoma on the heart but I only broke one rib and never hit a shoulder. I had 3 shots within an inch, one hit rib, the other two were on either side of it. One a rib further back and one was in line with the 3 but a few inches lower. I held just above his elbow, with a dope for 375. I probably didn’t need to shoot him more than once but I wasn’t going to let him get away. [/QUOTE]
