[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1497291, member: 95344"] I don't think the bullet was t blame. Plenty of VLD's and lighter constructed bullets than the Partition have taken elk. There's even a video of a 6mm ELD-M in I think 6mm CM taking a cow elk at over 400 yards. Not something I would advocate, but it illustrates what a well placed heart/ lung shot will do. Like others have suggested I think your bullet choice is good, just stay off the shoulder and go heart/ lung shot. Here's an article that's good reading on the topic.
