[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1511770, member: 101859"] Correct, a bigger bullet will help get through bone which is important on elk. Had this been an elk and the bullet did not penetrate the shoulder bone things would have been really bad, I may not have found him at all. But if you dont hit something vital the death just wont come fast no matter what bullet. I have seen elk soak up .338 bullets and keep going like they werent hit. You need 2 things IMO, #1 shot placement , and #2 enough energy to get though bone if you mess up #1. [/QUOTE]
