If I remember correctly.
Shot was downhill, about 130 yard range, broadside. Went through the top of onside scapula and lodged in off side shoulder. Took the high shoulder shot as I did not want him running down hill into the river breaks any farther.

Went down right there, which was good. Did slide down about 10 yards due to snow and steep hillside.

I remember being surprised that I found the bullet and it had not passed through. Bone obviously had something to do with it. I also attributed it the the 1:9 twist I now run in my 338-06's vs 1:12, or 1:10. Thinking the faster twist could possibly put a little more strain on C&C design.
