I agree but what are you shooting that can do that? Last year I shot my bull at 287 yards and the bullet went through. One shot and done. This year, same gun, same load, only 259 yards and I recovered 2 bullets. It's not a small caliber!

I'm using a 358/300 WSM shooting a 225 gr Sierra Gameking at 2840 fps

Last year, the bull was bedded at 287 and I hit him just behind the shoulder. He barely got to his feet and collapsed.

I'll post a pic of this years "exit" wounds.

I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!
