ManBoy,
I lost that bull not cause of poor shoot'in or tracking skills,I lost that bull for lack of common sense and not picking the right tool for the job.
Nobody takes a .243 or .223 and turn it into a 400 yds elk rifle,(except you)and expects great results.They are percison tools,but not for what I explain in my expirience was to show a great persicion tool is not always the best.It's like using a scalpul for a hunting knife it works but not what is was in tended for.

I didn't ask you for your expertice,or your glasses so go rattle someone elses zipper.
