Two lost bucks, three solid hits, two days.
Rational or not that kind of experience will sour a guy on a cartridge.
Hate the cartridge.
nsagam, interesting.... what bullet did you use?
I've shot several rocky mt and Roosevelt elk with mine and nary a problem.. I've always used either the 225gr Nosler partition or Sierra bt.
I can see where your experience would sour you, for sure!
