[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 2019920, member: 47425"] Nice Bull. Having hunted/killed antelope with that same bullet in a .264 WinMag for many yrs and having killed 19 elk with several different rifles and rounds, I can tell you that Berger 6.5 140 VLD is not an elk bullet. Great for antelope and deer, but opens too much and too fast for elk. Granted, had your first shot been thru the boiler room, it would probably have worked just fine, but it does not have the stability or retention for bone shots on a bull like that, or any elk for that matter. Great that you followed up and made sure he was done. Again, congrats, beautiful bull and experience with your dad! [/QUOTE]
