[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 453107, member: 13833"] You are correct about the devastating killing ability of fragmenting bullets. The rub is, as you already suggested, an elk is a different critter. I did kill an elk at less than 100 yards with one of my bullets that are designed for long range. I INTENTIONALLY shot him 6" behind the shoulder to make sure I didn't hit the shoulder. He staggered backwards two steps and went down. If you shoot an elk quartering or even in the shoulder, sooner or later you WILL have problems.......Rich [/QUOTE]
