m gardner Report post Posted September 15, 2007 Sometimes Nosler partitions don't shoot well in a rifle that's why I've used many different brands of bullet. They never fail though if you stick them in the right place. I shot a deer a while back that I tracked about a mile, then did it right. I swore it was lung shot but the bullet had deflected on the ribs on a quartering away shot and traveled under the shoulder exiting the brisket. The blood ended up looking frothy like lung blood from having air sucked into the wound by the action of the shoulder moving. If I had lost that animal I'd have sworn it had survived a lung shot, but in reality not. Here's me after shooting the largest bodied elk of my life with a 270 win. though the lungs at about 350 yards. I used a 150 grain Grand Slam bullet because they shot best in that rifle. Got 510 pounds of meat from him. He was big and old. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
