Once I had to put down about 80 sheep that were injured when a road train tipped over. A sad deed. Went thru near two boxes of .40 S&W ammo. I shot all those poor buggers in the head. You know what? Some of 'em needed a second shot!
Failure of the cartridge?
Of course not. I started to become distracted and didn't place the bullet in exactly the right spot. Some of those poor animals were still walking around on 3 legs or dragging their back half, and they had to be shot from about 15 feet away.
Anyone who thinks the 270 has let them down 'cause a deer stood up after being shot needs to look at either their bullet choice or more than likely their shooting.
