I saw Fireball's statement of shot placement and taking care to ensure that.
======================================================
This gun'l shoot 1" groups all day long. Yet that same guy gets into the woods and takes any shot he has and then blames the rifle/bullet/caliber for the miss. I'll take ANY .250 I own and kill any animal I shoot at deader than a door nail. Now I WONDER why that is????????????
If you need to use a small, weak, marginal bullet and cartridge on big game then as you write you must pass up shots and also deal with wounded game.
If that's all you can shoot then too bad.
