[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1118386, member: 7503"] Well, It was a male in his late 20's. He told me he shoots long range, self taught, and had videos on his phone of him ringing steel out to 1000. We were all in disbelief when the cow didn't go down. After all it was only 330 yards, little to no wind, and 3 of us distinctly heard the impact. The shooter was upset and went the next day to check his rifle and it was on all the way out. I should also add he took a yearling calf elk from the same field a couple days later in the 400 +/- range with one shot, same rifle, same bullet. I am sorry I do not have more, and I don't wish to offer a negative mind set toward the 7mm 175 LRA. I wish for many reasons we could have recovered the cow, but we have not. As I said, results are inconclusive at best, but I am confident in saying the cow did get a hit. I watched her follow the small herd after the shot for at least 1/2 mile. She was at the rear trailing by 50 to 100 yards of the others. But she was only exhibiting signs of being slow. No blood on her side, ears were not down, no limps, hunch or other signs of being hit. We discussed the possibility that the bullet impacted something else. But it was in an open hay field under a pivot. The next thing that could have produced the sound of the impact was a hill 800 yards away. I don't think that is the answer. I only offered this as it was fresh in my mind. I absolutely hate inconclusive data. So I hope I have offered what I did in an optimistic manner. Again, we just do not know what happened. Jeff [/QUOTE]
