We all talk about bullet placement as being the key to success... but I have found in my many years of hunting that I have not always been able to get the game to cooperate and offer the 'pose' or for me to be at the right spot at the right time to take advantage of the 'pose'. Most often I have found that I have to take advantage of the situation as it is or pass on the shot. It is my feeling that the Noslers offers you a margin of error and still harvest your game. Everytime I pull the trigger on an animal - I am aiming at the spot that I want the projectile to hit at what ever given range. But when shooting a ML there are far more varibles than shooting a centerfire - in most circumstances - the Nolser allows me to miss my mark a bitand still drop the game. When I sight the gun in I use a technique with 6" point blank range built in. From 0 yards to 175 yards (for the bullets I use) the most I can miss by aiming dead on is 6" - 3" up or 3" down.... Sounds good but the othervariables in theequation can change it also - wind being the biggest factor and angle of the shot being another. Still the Nosler allows the larger margin of error - not that i want any error but it doesoccur.
Well said. I do exactly the same 3" high at 100 yards with all my MLers, put you at 170 or so MPBR. Chap
