[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 706631, member: 18377"] My dad has killed several white tail deer with 162 Amax in his Ruger #1 7mm mag. I know you asked about Elk and I have shot a 5x5 Elk at 60 yards with the 155 Amax high sholder shot he had enough in him to turn down the mountain side a few steps and flip flopped down the side of the Mtn! I also shot a 4x4 muley very close to the same location 2 years later again with the 155 Amax it was running when I shot it at about 40 to 50 yards . Best I remember it was a double lung shot and he ran about 70 yards if that much . He would jump downed aspen and on the other side would look like you poured out a gallon of blood. Like coyboy mentioned shot placement ! I wouldnt hesitate to use an Amax. [/QUOTE]
