[QUOTE="Coues 'n' Sheep, post: 189708, member: 9816"] [b]Good on Elk[/b] My buddies twin 13 year old girls made two one shot kills on elk this past December with the 168 VLD from my 300 Wby mag, (3250+ fps). The first was 385 yds shot at about a 55 degree down angle.... she missed the shoulder hitting vertical center just infront of the shoulder... The bull folded up.... upon boning out the bull the bullet [I]vaporized[/I] about 5 inches of spine had some bullet fragments passing through the cape, but not a big hole... a couple of smaller holes. The Second bull was shot at 450 yards straight across a canyon. Again missing the shoulder and hitting about 8 inches back, but still center up and down. The bull made about 6 jumps up hill and tumbled back down. We did not examine the inside of the cavity (gutless bone out job), but the bullet did not reach the ribs on the other side..... there was not ANY bloodshot or bruising on the off side. All I can say is that with the shot hitting that far back the bull had a bloody "[I]protein shake[/I]" draining out his nose as we roled him over.:eek:;) I am real pleased with these bullets at that middle range. Looking forward to letting those girls shoot some Javelinas with that bullet in two weeks!;) I'll post the results. [/QUOTE]
