[QUOTE="Broz, post: 751080, member: 7503"] My lonest elk was at 1130, 338 LM with a 300 SMK. Point of impact was just in front of the shoulder at the base of the neck. The bull reared up and fell over backwards DRT. Wish I had that one on film. The bullet did expand and exit. After that there has been several in the 800 to 1000 yards area with the Berger 210 and 215's from a 300 win and 300 OTM's from the 338 LM. All were DRT except one I took at 805 yards with a 210 HVLD from my 300 win. My bad wind call put it at the back of the rib cage. The bull turned around and headed back into the timber. I could see the blood running to his belly from the exit. He made it about 50 yards and went down. I was not proud of the shot I made. The bull could have been dispatched quicker with a well placed shot. But the bullet did expand and exit, and the fragments covered my butt in what could have been a disaster. Jeff [/QUOTE]
