This is pretty much what I have seen. Saw one bull hit with a .375, and that I will say was pretty impressive.
On the other hand, the most dramatic reaction I’ve ever seen was with a .243. Before everyone gets their panties twisted, I’m not saying the .243 is superior. Until we figure out how to revive them and duplicate the exact scenario/shot, this war will rage on.
