[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2312676, member: 104437"] Just shot, my second Elk, Yesterday with, my Tikka .270 WSM, 140 grain Bullet, this one was at, 90 to 100 yards ( a Chip shot for, this Rifle ) kneeling position, with Stix, looking over some, 2 to 3 foot tall sage brush, so ended up having to shoot, the high shoulder area, just in front of the Back straps. The Berger 140 grain, Classic Hunter, going 3,185 FPS, knocked him down like, a Lightening Strike with, minimal loss of the shoulder Roast ! Found bullet stuck in the hide, on far side with, some lead in the core and a few Fragments that penetrated thru ( NOT, the "Mess" others have said ! ). I like the Performance of the Berger's and am NOT going back to, the AB's,.. for the .270 WSM. I'm getting, a New 6.5 Creedmoor ( YUP, another Tikka ) and WILL try the 142 ABLR'S in it tho, as Creed has much LESS Velocity than the WSM. Match YOUR Bullet choice to, the Cartridge and Velocity produced,.. and to the Game you Hunt. [/QUOTE]
