[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2380989, member: 5429"] Nada, no reservations........ I shot a rather large cow a couple mornings ago @ 449 yards in a high wind. She was about to step into the timber, I ranged her, hit the turf and stuck a 140 Berger (from my NULA/270) just in behind the last rib as she quartered away. The bullet went up into the chest and turned it into soup. She went 8 short steps and tipped over........ Within reason, as long as you have enough speed to open the bullet and don't take crazy stupid angle shots there just isn't that much critter even on an elk that you have to penetrate before you bullet needs to go to work. Point being 10 to 20 grains of bullet just doesn't matter! [/QUOTE]
