[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1527969"] A bullet hitting bone...ultimate test of any bullet...range angle velocity rotation and construction of the bullet....are all factors...then lets put into the mix of this a surface of varying density and shapes (bone) and a hide that must be penetrated and flesh/muscle..the surface area's we are talking about is miniscule in relation to the whole animal...the bullet may not be striking a flat surface instead it's trying to bite on a curve..well the bullet like anything else is going to follow the path of least resistance. Look at how much time is spent by various entities to understand exactly what a bullet will do in simulated testing media...we are talking million's of dollars and thousands of hours...but we still see and hear about bullets fail all the time..sometimes it's the bullet, placement, distance, animal in question and on occasion..Mr. Murphy... who knows where we all live... Using a bullet caliber placement combo..that has multiple fail's... there is no need for that...you all know what the definition of Insane is.... The Op is a learning opportunity, the shooter in question..now knows that his selected placement point was a poor choice...learn from that experience...the father now knows that he will need to spend some time, indicating/instructing the son/daughter about the preferred aiming points and anatomy and that he might be extending the range of the caliber/bullet outside of it's optimum performance envelope.. All good in my opinion, we are constantly learning, adapting and getting better at what we do...nothing wrong there.... [/QUOTE]
