[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2027542, member: 13732"] I've witnessed over a dozen animals killed with the 195, as a spotter or helping a few friends get their game. Deer antelope and elk. From all instances with proper shot placement kills were quick and ethical. A few the the elk took a quick follow up shot, but they were dead on their feet from the first. The most IMPORTANT thing to do, is get a wire drill bit and ensure the tip is open down to the lead. Sometimes polishing compound plugs the tip in the manufacturing process, this WILL keep the bullet from expanding. At close distances, avoid impacts on large shoulders of elk, this can cause the bullet to over expand/blow up and not penatrate into vitals. [/QUOTE]
