Default RE: would you have taken the shot

Well sometimes its better to pass, one year [about 6 years ago] I had went with out a shot that first day I was carring a System One in 54 cal loaded with a 50 cal widner bullet[ soft point] and 140 gr RS; abuck a 9 point came through the woods runingalmost at me while I was on the ground going to a different stand [we weigh him later at 240] so I ups and shot him in the front shoulder breaking the bone and it broke the opposite back hip to small bit and was stuck in the skin of his behind. Now Inever seen such a mess to clean and butcher that gun with that bullet is not the right one for that shot. Lee
