    Thanks. She should be. I couldn't find it for ages and had given up, but after I had climbed up the slip I shot it on a bit she ducked into the bush and found it about 25 yards away. I had been looking too low down, but once she crossed the scent on the slip it was easy peasy for her. That's a problem with the Barnes - not much of a blood trail - in this case not even a drop.

    Strange the exit wound looks bloody, usually if the bullet exits you do get a trail, that's where a good dog earns her keep. What caliber, 270 WSM ?
