Kudu was quartering towards me. Bullet hit near shoulder, broke humerus, continued straight on though both lungs and lodged under skin at back of rib cage. Bull ran only about 15-20 steps and dropped. Considering heavy bone was hit, I am satisfied with weight retained. Similar shot on a Gemsbok was placed about half a hands width farther back, from about 90M away. Bullet performed the same quick kill and exited.
