Guess I'll elaborate on the bad luck I had with the Sierra's. I got between a big 6x6 and his cows while he was fighting with another bull that I could make out through some black timber and bugled. He immediately came charging my way and I watched him comming toward me. He stepped out at 15 yards and I dead centered him in the neck with my 300 win mag. He flipped and was flailing on his back, jumped up and took off running hard. I caught him again at about 100 yrds right behind the shoulder in the ribs and he piled up a few yards from there. No doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have got him without the second shot. I also bugled in a spike the next year, had him at about 40 yrds with a rest facing me standing dead still. I centered my cross hairs on the white spot just below his chin and touched off. I'm sure a .22 mag would have killed him but this bullet just exploded and split the skin from his jaw half way down his neck and I found the front half of his jaw sitting on ground like it was sawed off right where he was standing. I'm sure his sences were shot, but he got with another bull and everytime I got close the healthy bull would go and he would follow. Four hours later and afew miles later I could no longer find a blood trail and lost the only bull I've ever lost. Still just makes me sick.
