How would that translate into a bigger animal??? Read on......
South Africa 2014... Every animal besides Cape buff was cleanly taken with the same gun, bullet and velocity as the Texas sika.. hartebeest, nyala, warthog, bushbuck...all bigger...all dead...Florida.. water buff (bovine).. one shot with same gun and bullet...dead...bullet placement...Remember shooting fallow buck at 40 yards with factory 260gr partition by Winchester from 454... neck shot... dead... no one was more surprised then me when expanded partition was sSTOPPED against neck bone...bullet failure??? maybe...depends how you look at it...is the glass half full or half empty?? for me it worked The original post could have a hundred different answers and all would be correct but my choice of bullet has nothing to do with it.....
