[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 2765855, member: 73428"] [USER=12469]@RH300UM[/USER] [USER=106845]@Petey308[/USER] We had similar experiences with several elk and deer - only with the 300 grain elite hunters. Short or long range did not matter - after the season we just decided to run different cartridges. Sure was a head scratcher! I chalked it up to not enough mass for the bullet to reliably open up (we are NOT shoulder shooters - i'm sure results would be different.) With that being said you would think a lapua Ai would produce devastating wounding at 2900 FPS launch - but that was not the case with this particular cartridge/bullet combo. 6.5 156's & 140's & 7mm 180 VLD's on the other hand have worked phenomenally for us!
