[QUOTE="bluefish, post: 1535068, member: 22424"] Man, I love these stories. Elk hunter crying in his beer at a western saloon. Shot a big bull right thru the chest with a super-sizzle magnum. Pert near a perfect shot. How does he know it was a good shot? Why that's where he was aiming you **** fool !!! Bull takes off and is never found. Hunter and his buddies drink to never using that inferior super-sizzle round again -- obviously need more gun and maybe better bullets. Always wondered: If the bull is never recovered, how do you know it was a good hit, or that the bullet failed to perform well ? Just wondering. Having killed elk with centerfire rifles of various calibers, muzzleloading rifles and long bow, I can attest to the fact that elk have a hard time running very far after receiving a significant wound to the heart/lung area, and as far as I know, God never made a bullet-proof elk. Interesting thread, I guess. BTW - I would not use a 6.5 CM for elk, I have a number of bigger options, but I also know a rancher in Montana who has killed a lot of elk with a beat-up old .250 Savage 99. Make the shot and the elk is yours. Broadside a shoulder blade with a lightly constructed bullet and you might be the one crying in your beer. [/QUOTE]
