[QUOTE="grit, post: 622626, member: 4112"] I've shot elk with 7mm 180's, 30 cal 210's, and 338 grain 300's, from 150-1200 yards. I have not experienced a failure. A personal friend reports a 180 berger cratering on an elk at 150 yards with muzzle velocity around 3300. This doesn't surprise me, as the bullet was likely nearly torn apart by the torque and friction from the barrel alone. I've seen a lot of wierd bullet performance. Folks need to realize reality doesn't mirror the edited TV shows. Bullets all have their own limitations. Use them accordingly. There is nothing wrong if an animal doesn't fall over instantly dead with the first shot. [/QUOTE]
