65BR who cares how many animals were lost. It happens. I have lost three deer in my hunting career. One was shot at 199 yards (30/06 165 grain sierra), one was at 127 yards (300 ultra 180 partition) and one at 221 yards (300 ultra 180 accubond). I damn sure had enough gun and bullet in all cases but really can't tell you what happened ( I do have guesses). In all three cases the deer were shot from a rest.
I have also killed a few animals between 300 and 503 yards and never lost one.
Losing shot animals happens once in a while. Get over it.
