. It's the shock that causes the animal to stand and take shot after shot before going down. [/quote]
I shot a small cow right at 200yds with a .375 H&h/300 Sierra SBT. Hit it tight behind the shoulder, midway. It stood there, kinda humped up a bit. Since she was only a short run from a canyon "that was so deep it might have led to Hell", I popped her high shoulder. Both rounds blew 4" exit holes! shocked for sure, ha.
