[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 442404, member: 13632"] It doesn't matter what bullet guy shoots, shooting an elk in the center of the shoulder will catch a guy at some time. I had a Barnes TSX fail on an elk shoulder so you can have a problem with any of them. A guy at work punched a 168 gr VLD from his 7mag through the shoulder and spine of a nice bull at 50yrd this year, he found the bullet nicely mushroomed on the of side of the neck after going though all that, that same shot 6in lower would have been on the heavy shoulder bone below the scapula and then who knows what would have happened. Guys would be surprised how many elk survive a hit in the shoulder, when I cut them I'll find the shoulders fused into a hard mass, you can't hardly tell from the outside they have a bad shoulder.
