Huh? What does a wounded animal that escapes have to do with an animal that's dead? Plus, if the animal gets away, how do you know whether the bullet performed or didn't perform?

I think his point was, lots of guys talk a bout "bullet failure" with a one-shot kill. They use different criteria for "failure," like low retained weight, jacket separation, or even no exit wound. Which gets to the question, what is the bullet designed to do? Kill the animal, or look pretty?



A wise man is frequently humbled.
