[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1031026, member: 14204"] Excellent advice from your friend to keep shooting until the elk drops. Last, a friend (1st time elk hunter from GA) put 3 rounds of 180gr Barnes TTSX factory ammo out of his .300 Win Mag on a bull elk ~75 yards away -- 2 passed through the boiler area and 1 made it 1/2 way from the front shoulder area. For each shot, the elk managed to run ~50 yards and then stopped for the other shot opportunities. 3 weeks later a friend shot a bull elk with his 7MM Mag using 180gr Berger VLD from HSM at 300 yards --- DRT (with a passed through)! I also harvested my bull elk the same day at 931 yards with 190 Berger VLD (ran out of 210s) out of my .300 Win Mag at 3043 FPS. Mine managed to run ~200 yards with the herd before he dropped (no passed through). All 3 bull elk expired differently but IMHO, all bullets performed accordingly. BTW, if you feel there's a flaw in your bullet of choice, please send them leftovers my way. :):D:rolleyes::cool:gun) [/QUOTE]
