[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 996191, member: 4191"] I had a black bear run ~110yds before piling up once, after a bullet from a .338 Win Mag blew (or sucked) the heart out the far side of the animal. There was no heart found inside the chest cavity when I recovered the bear. This bear hunt story is a good example of why animal recovery and examination is so important, prior to forming conclusions on terminal performance of bullets. The only bullets I [B][U]know[/U][/B] have failed to perform on game (they generally have not expanded, rather than exploded on impact), were on animals that were recovered and examined. Most often, additional shots were required. Most every animal that's not recovered and examined involves too much guesstimation for confident conclusions. There are a myriad of possibilities on animals that aren't recovered. [/QUOTE]
