[QUOTE="ATH, post: 923171, member: 1656"] I put 3 200gr Accubonds through a bull's lungs at about 700 yards. He didn't even react until the third one, which was also the only one to hit bone. He just shook his shoulders and walked off up the mountain behind a deadfall where I couldn't shoot him again. It was still about 5 minutes before we heard him fall and roll. I've heard of people chasing bulls which ended up being hit well long distances because they didn't keep shooting. Don't know the range in this video, the bullet, or the cartridge. But I would not have waited so long to put the third one in him. Shoot until they are down for good. Hunts are expensive and hard, cartridges are cheap and reloading easy. [/QUOTE]
