[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 120110, member: 2011"] [b]Re: Shot placement - Elk - More Specific[/b] All ya'll have taken more elk than I have, even if you've taken only one [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Every white tail and muley I've ever shot has been behind the point of the shoulder with a 270 Win 130/140gr bullet. On a moose I put a 130 Sierra through both shoulder blades but below the spine. By that time the animal was dead but hadn't caught on yet..... I've been studying the high shoulder shot but didn't know the exact placement. Your descriptions and pics have helped alot. I sense that the 225 Hor Interlock isn't much of a bullet for the HS shot. I have some Nos 250 partitions that should be fine and will have completed testing on 250 SMKs and and 250 Hornady SPBTs by the time the elk hunt comes around. I use the 225s on a Muley..... [/QUOTE]
