[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1381650, member: 103303"] I thought the same until that experience. The presentation was broadside, standing. Based on the evidence I presume impact was very near the shoulder joint itself. Pretty weird to disable only one leg and see him tricycle away. I have made similar shots with 60gr ballistic tips (presently my bullet of choice for fur) and taken out both legs and a bit of sternum. I've seen better performance from 45gr varmint bullets. I acknowledge my case is isolated and flukey. Obviously shot placement was poor, but the resuls were SUPRISINGLY poor. With the right shot placement, any bullet will do. What interests me in terminal performance discussions is what happens when placement is imperfect. How well does a bullet expand when it encounters only soft tissue? Does it hold together when encountering bone? [/QUOTE]
