Got my Project 300 WSM bloody

Got off work today at 2 PM and went hunting with a buddy of mine in Knox county. I was hunting on a cliff and billy goated the side of a mountain with my treestand for an hour. I stopped to take a break and looked up and there he was walking right at me. I took aim and pulled the trigger....nothing happened. I forgot to push the safety forward to fire. Took aim again at maybe 30 yards and dropped him in his tracks. 165 grain Hornady Interbond shattered the front right shoulder, destroyed the heart and ended somewhere in the lower intestines. I searched for the bullet to no avail. This is a pic from my cell phone.

Congrats.
BTW Glad you got it bloody but do hope you didn't add any charcter marks to it after the trouble you had with the smith. $;\)$
