[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 896978, member: 14204"] Everybody has varying success or failures on various bullet on various occasions. This year my friend shot a bull elk with his .300 Win Mag at <100 yards using factory 180gr Barnes bullet (can't remember if it's TSX or TTSX) ammo and it took 3 shots (1 each on lung, high spine, and left front (facing) shoulder) before it expired. The bull managed to run a short distance on each shot. Had 2 nice exit holes, and 1 bullet recovered half way with excellent expansion. Meat damaged on left front shoulder. Two weeks later, my other friend dropped a bull elk at 300 yards using factory HSM ammo 180gr Berger VLD in his 7MM Rem Mag. No exit wound but the vitals are all souped up ... no meat damage. IMHO, it's a success! :D [/QUOTE]
