[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1496552, member: 103303"] It's not humerous to hit the humerus. I've had the same thing happen with a 30-06 and a 165gr accubond on the arm of a white tail deer. This doesn't mean the 30-06 is too small for deer, or that the accubond failed. This is a problem with shot placement, not bullet performance. I've learned to be very careful when shooting upward angles at game above me. Also, the near elbow will raise up every time the animal steps. Timing can be a factor too. As for the shoulder, if you need to shoot bone, try a monolithic for the 'high shoulder shot of dreams'. Im suprised a partition didn't make it into the chest cavity on ther second shot, but I believe it. Small calibers can be effective on elk with careful placement. On the other hand, muzzle brakes can make formidable cartridges quite pleasant to shoot. Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned for you guys, glad you were able to recover the animal! [/QUOTE]
