[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 2019898, member: 109476"] I have been using the Barnes 120gr ( original X ) since 1994 on elk each year, from various 6.5's. They have never failed me. Today use the TSX/TTSX. Except last year , I used a Hammer 121 gr on my elk. A very mature elk taken at about 80 yds. Because of vegetation I was forced to take a shoulder shot. Complete penetration & a DRT. Almost zero blood shot meat. It has been my experience , that the vast majority of elk & deer I have taken has been under 200 yds. Many under 100. With elk you don't always get a rib cage shot. Many times it is an angled shot where the bullet has to hold together in order to penetrate a considerable amount of dense muscle & bone. You may hunt for days under extreme wet cold, miserable weather. If a shot becomes available I want the toughest , most dependable, deepest penetration bullet available. I have found that to be the homogeneous, copper bullet. [/QUOTE]
