Most any cal. with a decent weight Nosler Partition will easily do it!! For instance, 30 cal. at 30-06 velocities and a 150 grain NP will do it every time. I've seen "softer" bullets fail to do this same thing.

You can think what you want, but once i or someone else shoots at a game animial, i figure it's my duty to take what ever shot i have "includeing" straight away shots to anchor that animial.

I usedstraight awayshots on moose, caribou, brown bears, and deer. I pretty much don't use anything but NP's anymore just for "that" reason. I prefer to use a cal/load/bullet that will anchor my animial at a "worse case scenario" instead of assumeing i'll always have a "perfect" shot and everything will always go "perfectly".

My over 40 years of hunting has long since proven that"perfect" isthe wrong kind of thinking!
