[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 910379, member: 10582"] To clarify this situation this 2.5 year old bull was hit in the shoulder knuckle. This bull was shot at 4 times from a solid rest, between 150 and 200 yards. Just luckily it was opening morning and amazingly and thankfully this bull stuck around with 5 other confused young bulls. The hunter was nervous and unsettled as I has ever been around. This bull had a different color horns then the rest and stayed separated for easily identification, but after the forth shot I told this man to please take my rifle and kill that bull. Game over, it was almost a very bad situation! As it turned out some how he had only hit the bull one time with the 168 berger. I am a huge fan of high bc bullets, but under 400-500yards, I believe a well constructed heavy bullet has the advantage on the really high bc bullet. I feel that Barnes or partition type bullets are hard to beat at close range. Good luck on that hunt [/QUOTE]
