Stinkin' X Bullet Failure..... - 11/07/02
..... Failure to exit that is!!!!
<br>
<br>Got a little momento from my hunt this week. While the bullet didn't exit, it certainly did its job! This was recovered from my muley buck, shot Saturday evening. The shot was 350 yards. The buck was quartered towards me and above me, buried in a hillside full of thick oak brush. I was using my 338 Ultra with a "mild" load consisting of 210 grain XLC's with a MV of ~3110 fps. The shot took him in the front shoulder, smashing it, leaving a devastating wound channel through the vitals and was found under the hide, just in front of the hind quarter. The buck stood there and shook his head a couple times, then hobbled down hill about 5 yards before dropping. I hit him EXACTLY where I was holding (big grin)!
<br>
<br>Post tramatic bullet weight was 208.2 grains!!! And, one of the prettiest mushrooms I've ever recovered!
