In both instances the bullet missed breaking any major bone.
Well, yeah, of course. Same could be said of a 375.
338's were made to break bones and I like to break animals, especially trophy ones.
Trophy bucks like to place a young buck between them and whatever is hunting them, sometimes only exposing their hindquarters. Not a time to be picky, break 'em.
A LOT of bear hunting guides in AK pack 338's, they aren't packing 270's.
