A little less wind drift might have helped him given by his own admission the bullet was blown of course and impacted in the guts. An exit didn't seem to help much either.
I don't advocate using high BC target bullets on game, but I also am not interested in slinging bricks.
I wouldn't call a liver hit, which is what we think it was, a shot to the "guts". Whatever it was, it was not effective enough and that was my fault, not one of the bullet.
Call it what you want. However the liver is right around the paunch.
