[QUOTE="171farm, post: 2281810, member: 110956"] I shot my first elk on our 2017 Colorado elk hunt. It was a bull at 310 yards using a TC Encore Prohunter 300 win mag with factory Hornady precision hunter 200 gr ammo. He was standing quartering away from me. First shot he stumbled and fell tried to get up but couldn’t so I shot him again…the night prior the guide said keep shooting until they arnt moving so I did which was completely unnecessary, I believe the first shot he would have expired but didn’t want to see him suffer. None of my hits were pass throughs but the bullet did its job. We didn’t gut it, only quartered so no idea what the bullet looked like. This November we are going to Montana and I’ll be shooting the same round for elk/deer. This time however I’ll be using reloads. 200 gr with 77 grains of H1000 powder 215m primers…moving 2950ish FPS. I expect similar results if given a shot. [/QUOTE]
