[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 401615, member: 25488"] I don't mean any offense, but I have heard the same basic story from guys shooting a .338wm at elk. just not blaming their gun for being too light. I have not killed an elk but I am close to several that have killed many, and these things just happen. I have had heart shot deer run over a mile, weapon on one occasion was a 300 win mag. Personally, I think you encountered very big, even tougher than most animal. And inmy experience hunting and being around other hunters, those exist. I wouldn't blame the gun, wouldn't blame the shooter either . Neck shots are invariably unreliable. In every single case, it may work. I can definitely understand your position after having that happen, but I have heard of far too many killed with .257 ackley's and 25-06 and accubonds or partitions to be convinced it isn't enough gun. Is it Ideal, No. [/QUOTE]
