You're not defending the lies you put forth in your previous posts. I'll accept that as your tacit admission you know they were lies and cannot be defended.

As to the two elk, it is debatable whether both were hit "too far back". Definitely true for the second, but we've been eating on the first for 1-1/2 years now, which was shot at 487 yards. What I said about it was I hit it "a little further back than I wanted". Nevertheless the .338WM and 225g AB put it on the ground in short order.

If you can claim you always hit exactly where you want, good for you - but I doubt it.

Losing one animal in 33 years of hunting isn't a perfect record but it isn't bad, either.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
