[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 1530098, member: 25190"] Watched my buddy shoot one with a 180 grain Barnes in 300WM this year. He nailed it form less than 100 yds. We followed that cow 8 miles and it lost what seemed like 2 gallons of blood. Finally ran it onto private property but that cow never even fell behind the herd. They are resilient animals. I lost one once in a similar scenario. In his case I think his bullet penciled right through, double lunged it but didn’t get any expansion. I have too little free time, too few elk encounters, and too much respect for them to be out there trying to take them with a tiny little projectile. I suspect many of the 6.5 supporters would change their tune if they had to DIY public land in any western state. [/QUOTE]
