[QUOTE="Mtngoat690, post: 1056043, member: 43620"] Interesting question. I'll bet it has to do with the same reason(s) why regular old soft points will no longer kill elk? You see from what I understand (based off of the forums and gun magazines I've read) some 10 or 15 years ago elk evolved and became "bullet proof"! Yep you heard it right and along with this they also became so wary and educated that we now must spend thousands of dollars on custom rifles that can shoot baseball size groups at 800 and even 1000yds because we can no longer get any closer to them. To get back on subject......I have a 6.5 and 7mm's that I have shot several elk with and to be completely honest with you, I didn't notice any difference in "on game performance" and I know for a fact the elk couldn't tell a difference.
