Nice job Hanco. "...I wonder what a .338 Fed would do to one??"
Probably the same thing that a 180 grain RN Core-Lokt from a .308 did to a snowshoe hare for me once. Hare parts hanging from the brush nearby.
Or having read everything I could from Jack O'Connor back in my youth, he wrote that a bullet passes the line of sight twice. Once maybe 10-15 yards out and then again at the sighted in range. He wrote that was really handy to know potting a grouse for camp meat. Didn't work like that on a close in partridge that I saw one deer season. I could have .30-06ed a feather pillow and gotten the same partridge burger result. Not recommended and that was kid stuff. Now if I hunt deer, I only shoot deer.
