[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1099354, member: 14204"] In 2013, my buddies and I harvested 3 bull elk. Troy was using a factory load 180 Berger VLD from HSM out of his factory Weatherby Accumark in 7MM Rem Mag at 300 yards with 1 shot. Pete was using a factory load 180 Barnes TTSX out his factory Savage 111 in .300 WM at ~100 yards. However, it took 3 shots to finally down the elk. I was using 190 Berger VLD hand load out my SAKO M995 in .300 WM at 931 yards. Mine managed to run ~200 yards with the heard and rolled down a coulee 600 yards before it finally expired. IMHHO, the bullets performed as advertised and shots were at the vital area (shot placement for all were on the lung /heart area except for Pete's he had an extra shot and blew one of the shoulders) but the elk shot expired differently. These are just some of the real world experiences on elk in Montana, however, experiences will always vary ... you decide. Good luck!
