No guarantees a shot bull won't walk though. They sometimes do even with a hit that would drop a lesser animal. But a hit with an appropriate cal should be somewhat dissuasive.

I watched one soak up two 250 grain Barnes from a 338 Rum.
He probably didn't need the second one, but we didnt know that at the time. And he was in a good spot to process.
