your right on about that high shot Gary, I lost a nice 3x3 muley a few years ago. I had a BFR running 440gr CP's @ 1660fps but I hit just behind the shoulder and high, the deer buckled and I saw a nickle sized spot where the bullet hit but then he took off. We looked for 3 hours until dark and found no blood and I lost his tracks. We went back the next morning and looked for another 3 or 4 hours and found absolutely nothing. Point to all that is that I could have taken an elephant with that load but because my shot was off by a couple inches it failed to drop a 200lb deer. That day was the biggest confidence crushing day in my hunting career and is why I've had a problem just leaving my rifles at home. To this day I'm paranoid of making a bad shot with my revolvers and losing another animal.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist
