[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2497971, member: 103303"] A friend of mine shot a bull elk in the scapula a few years back. The bullet penetrated about 8" of shoulder but experienced core jacket separation. The jacket was found on the ribs, and the bullet didn't make it into the vitals. We only know this because he followed up with another shot through the lungs. Had he not, the result would have likely been a lost and wounded elk. What might suprise some; the bullet was a .338 230gr ELDX. The impact velocity was ~2500fps... Everyone needs to make the decision for themselves, but I don't know ANY experienced elk guides who advocate shooting shoulders with small bores. Good way to wound an elk. [/QUOTE]
