[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 73825, member: 10"] B1g_b0re, The 750 A-Max is actually a great game bullet for deer and like sized game. While I have never used them on elk, I have heard that solid shoulder hit will result in severe meat damage to the offside??? Point being, its not a good idea to have a bullet fully expand when its packing +10,000 ft/lbs of energy or even 6000 lbs for that matter which is out to 1000 yards on most loads. For chest shots I have seen results that performed quite well on elk size game but I have heard that solid shoulder hits resulted in some serious damage. On deer size game, actual tissue damage is much less then one would expect. On yotes, its basically a 1/2" hole in and out with no expansion really at all on broadside shots. Antelope are also quite similiar. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
