[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 755495, member: 41442"] just keep in mind with elk or something that size you still have to break some pretty good sized bone. I do shoot alot of deer (not elk) at long range. I can get some pretty decent expansion out of seirra prohunters or nos bt at that range out of a mag rifle. Ive found though that i DO LIKE an exit wound. Most times game hit at that distance dont just crumble on the spot. If i have to chase them a bit id much rather have an animal leaking out of two holes! You also have to keep in mind that a bullet that is so fragile it comes apart even at long range can expand enough that combined with low velocity can underpenetrate especialy if it does hit that bone. Im not here trying to convince you to change your mind just giving you something to think about. [/QUOTE]
