[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2329093, member: 52585"] Very interesting I've read all of page 1 and skimmed page 2. I'll go back and thoroughly re-read the entire thread. Here's an example of a temporary shut down from last week in NM. I shot a bull straight up the leg and right in the middle of the chest, what's called the middle of the deadly V by archers. The guide saw the impact and said I 10 ringed him. This shot was at 547 yards with a 230 berger from a 30 nosler. Retained velocity was 2330 fps and energy was 2770. That bull went down and didn't even twitch after the shot. We watched him for 10 minutes while I tried to control the shaking after the shot. I unloaded my rifle and was about to pack up for the move. As I'm just starting to gather my stuff my guide calmly states, hey your bull is up. I look at him in disbelief! He was up but not looking good. Not moving and head hung low. He was essentially dead but refused to admit it. I told the guide, same spot 6 inches higher, I was determined to shock the spine this time and did. After quartering the bull we pulled a rib and the lungs poured out in a sloppy mess. How that bull stood after 10 minutes of shredded lungs is beyond me. Full story in the elk hunting forum. [/QUOTE]
