[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1828274, member: 112648"] Absolutely A bad shot is a bad shot. What we're talking about is making sure you have a bullet that'll hold together on heavy muscle and bone, and still expand reliably. I've sent a 140 partition through both shoulders of a bull at 200 yards with my 6.5 saum, it broke the heavy leg bone on the offside. Now seeing a 143 ELDX, and a 225 eldm fail to even penetrate a shoulder is pretty conclusive that they're the wrong bullet for elk. Don't even get me started on Berger's, I could list a bunch of failures on elk (first hand experience). After last season I'll never shoot a non bonded bullet at an elk again [/QUOTE]
