[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1137031, member: 13632"] I've helped guys out with getting a wounded elk down on pivots and almost every time it's a shoulder shot elk, I've even had to work to recover my own shoulder shot elk back when I shot Barnes. I've had to take elk on my tag or help guys get their shoulder wounded elk with every bullet imaginable, MOST of the time the shot went forward or high going over the spine and some will be hit low in the shoulder and the bullets will either not penetrate, including Barnes and Accubonds, or they'll turn out of the animal before the vitals. I rarely take a first shot at the shoulder regardless of what I'm shooting but the only thing I'm comfortable with doing it is a larger 338. I however took a cow last week with a lower shoulder shot at 280 yards with a Berger 140 gr 6.5 bullet, it was the only shot that was going to happen and the bullet destroyed her lower shoulder then passed through her on side lung absolutely shredding it, she made it two steps and she flipped over backwards dead.
