That's the irony of it all. So many people think that an "uber-magnum" provides a certain margin of error for a shot. In this case, super-duper weight and super-duper speed on them boolits smile wasn't enough to cover the error.

As I said to Murphy on the AOD one time, how big a cartridge is necessary to accomodate an F'd up shot?

The problem for many is the "oh look at me - I'm an awesome hunter" attitude that comes across in the posts. it just doesn't add up thataway.

Nice bear, congrats, but if you do that again - don't post it.


As a wise sage on this forum likes to say, and repeat after me:

Placement>>>Bullet>>>Cartridge
Good mantra, there.
