[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1766442, member: 109476"] Amazing to me how I have had total success with the Barnes mono on elk for decades , yet others say they have had failures. Having observed numerous other hunters I have helped take elk cleanly with them . As stated accurate placement means every thing regardless of cal or bullet. I had one hunter shoot at a bull around 85 yds 5 times before getting down. Then still required a 6th shot to finish it off. First shot broke a front leg, then one in the hip, the guts, a clean miss , then hit the spine above the shoulders. The last shot dropped the elk to the ground. He was using a 30-06 with factory 180gr bullets. A very ample round & bullet but poor shot placement. [/QUOTE]
