[QUOTE="albertakid, post: 809651, member: 9559"] The reason I stated that the high velocity magnums actually had poor results is due to the fact that at closer distances the velocity actually hinders the bullet performance when a heart or lung shot is taken. Now a high shoulder shot would be a different deal altogether, but I have personally seen elk shot with a 7mag that covered a lot of ground do the bullet passing through and the energy wasted with a lung shot. A lot of hunters around here see the high shoulder shot as a waste of meat I know cause I have had this debate 100 times I always say high shoulder and they say lung shot until they see a high shoulder shot and the way in anchors a critter down:D I actually shot a 7 rem mag for a long time and killed numerous elk at all kinds of ranges however I probably shot one of the slowest ones around as I liked a heavier bullet and less velocity.
