"NOT" looking for any debate, just sharing a "real world" experience. I already know many have success with it. Yesterday, my buddy harvested a nice 6X6 bull elk at 426 yards with his .300 WM. The bull was feeding in an open meadow when the shot was taken but managed to run into the timber at ~2K yards. All four of us search for nearly over 2 hours no luck. Another hunter that was watching the event below us stumbled to the bull elk on his last gasp of life, apparently it was loud. The other hunter lead my friend to the bull and finally expired when they got there.
Anyways, it was a double lung shot ~ 3", small entry with extreme blood shot but no exit wound. The only evident blood trail was around 3-4 yards before he finally dropped. It looked like he drowned internally with his own blood.
