After all, that's the scenario suggested by many hunters during bullet arguments: "It's the last hour of the last day of an expensive 10-day hunt in Wyoming, and the only mature bull you've seen the entire time is running directly away through the timber. What sort of bullet do you want in the chamber of your rifle?
Interestingly enough, I had almost that exact scenario last year, except the animal was a ram and the hunt was on day 12. It was the last day though.
My bullet was one commonly derided as a "target bullet," a 123 grain Lapua scenar. I used it because it's the most accurate bullet in the rifle I used, and bullet placement is more important than anything else.
