[QUOTE="270 lefty, post: 333778, member: 16003"] I killed an elk this year with a 168 bullistic tip one shot but he took it 100 yard plus runnig shot took all the liver missed the lungs compleatly but did the job. Are the E tips suppose to take the place of the old Failsafe ct bullet? I shot a mt goat with those in 1991 after my good friend warned me against using them one week before my hunt. I used them because I had no time to work on another load. long story is the fail safe in an elk he shot in Nevada still #2 typical in that state took 6 failsafes only one recovered bullet rectum to front shoulder all others passed through, the one recovered had hardly any expantion less then 200 yards just too hard I guess. My goat I decided to hope for a shoulder hit I have heard horror stories of comakozy death plunges off cliffswith those critters , well my goat offered the perfect quarting towards me 250 yard shot but I missed the bone by centimeters and he bolted over the ridge, luckey for me it took long enough for us to get to the ridge that he had felt the hurt and stayed put, but not dead yet. as he saw us come over he had enough left to stand wobble and roll about 50 yards down hill to the first group of scrub pines. Thank gooness for these pine's he probably would have not stopped rolling till the bottom but I was lucky. The bullet exit hole was mabey .400 not to impressive or quick killing IMO hearing of not much tissue damage on the speed goat is why I ask the Questian? [/QUOTE]
