You're welcome.
I guess I should say that I shot my 2005 bull (another mature one i.e. large body) three times through the chest with my .338WM using 225gr A-frames and he never even flinched. He just stood at the edge of the timber looking for what had poked him in the side! He turned around and headed into the woods and I thought crap! I've missed this guy three times and have lost him. I got down to where I last saw him and he was dead just inside the trees. He had three exit wounds about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and his shoulders were in really bad shape. I didn't get much meat off of them.
Even though the bullet I shot my last year's bull with didn't make much of an exit wound and a couple of petals broke off, it did a job on him as he was really hurting immediately. I guess when a fairly light bullet going over 3,000fps hits a very large animal's hide, meat and bones, strange things can happen.
