[QUOTE="Cubbear, post: 2428099, member: 118775"] I’ve hunted cow elk in Arizona last 20 years using tika 30-06 150 gr ttsx bullets religiously and have had experienced your scensrio only once. bullet went between ribs thru heart exited between a rib the elk just stood there and walked in circles for a minute and then fell dead. The ttsx bullets have been devastating and most elk run no more than 60 yards. Where I hunt a 200-250 yard shot is a long shot. Consider the ttsx and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. My hunting buddies and I use mono 130 gr gmx in hornady 270 caliber and the 150 ttsx in 30-06 for 20 years and we have never lost an elk. All ammo is factory loads also. I stand behind the mono to eliminate lead poisoning in the circle of life and protect the condors that call home near the Grand Canyon. Don’t give up on your ammo. You recovered your elk and may have meat loss. Consider the ttsx bullet instead of of tsx. I’m excited to load the new hornady cx for trial run on pigs deer and elk in the future. Hope this helps.
