[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1502027, member: 60453"] John, you're dead on on all you said. I assumed that he knew all that, but maybe he doesn't. Its good advice and a good review, anyway. I hunted elk in Colorado this Fall, and didn't even see one, but I like to shoot just behind the front leg and try to hit the nerve center in the forward chest. This also gets the lungs. I use a .35 Whelen with a Sierra 225 grain Gameking. My average velocity for this load is 2725 fps and it hits like a sledge hammer. The bullet drop matches my Shepherd P2 scope to at least 900 yards at 7,000 feet of altitude. [/QUOTE]
