[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1336943, member: 13632"] Shooting laying down elk usually puts a bullet on a longer path than a standing broadside and being up near the shoulder usually adds to the troubles. I've seen this from 7mags with Accubonds, Barnes doesn't really matter what bullet the twist rates are off on factory guns so guys end up with a 150-160 gr bullet when they need a 180 class bullet for the job on elk. From what little detail that is provided I'd fully expect and be ready to deliver a second shot on an elk, very few chambering and bullets you shouldn't be ready for a hard time when you shoot them up on the shoulder. If your 4-5 inches back from the shoulder anything I didn't see make the far side would not go hunting again!!! [/QUOTE]
