A little less wind drift might have helped him given by his own admission the bullet was blown of course and impacted in the guts. An exit didn't seem to help much either.
I don't advocate using high BC target bullets on game, but I also am not interested in slinging bricks.
I wouldn't call a liver hit, which is what we think it was, a shot to the "guts". Whatever it was, it was not effective enough and that was my fault, not one of the bullet.
Call it what you want. However the liver is right around the paunch.
But the paunch bleeds green.
[Edited to add] As to the North Fork B.C., you are correct, NF doesn't provide them. That said, out to at least 500 yards the 160g NF and 160g Grand Slam loads I used for 20+ years (and used again to take my elk at 411 yards last year, but from my buddy's rifle), are interchangeable. The .389 B.C. value I used for the NF is the value provided by Speer for the Grand Slam.

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