[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 1865313, member: 22242"] 100% impossible for you to say. One year I was hunting elk with a 25-06, loaded with 100 TTSX. I stalked to just under 200 yards of a small group of cows, the closest one was broad side, I put one right behind the front shoulder, she spun around and I put another right next to it before she left. I assumed she was dead right around the bend of the hill, but she wasnt, she was hurt but she was upright and walking through the trees, I proceeded to put 4 more in her at under 250 yards at which point I ran out of ammo. I had to just watch her till she finally bedded and I snuck up on her and killed her with a 44 mag. I realize 100 grains is a little light, but it goes to show its not always shot placement, upon skinning I found out the bullets were entering the rib cage and running out of juice pretty much instantly and didnt cause soft tissue damage to speak of. they were just barely inside. a bigger rifle.. (magnum) she would have likely been dead within feet if not instantly. [/QUOTE]
