You don't get it, do you?
I had a little skinny lane to shoot down. 12 feet approximately. No visibility on either side. If that elk had crossed those 12 feet we'd have been fooked. It's bad steep and real brushy for 3 miles after that.
The point of .257 vs .300 had nothing to do with shoot it behind the shoulder, it was about shooting it THROUGH both shoulders .. right through the big damn ball joints and turning it feet to the sky without it getting even a foot beyond that 12 foot lane.
I'm done. I've said my piece ... this field is yours. Enjoy.
I'll bet at 12 feet a TSX or a TTSX would of blown through that bull with ease. And with "ten fold" less recoil a second shot blowing another hole right through the already dead bull would be easy. But if you want to try and settle in for another shot out with your .300 go for it.
