[QUOTE="NM-LAnk, post: 2307365, member: 112307"] What he said…. Actually I’d say it much stronger. No, that is not suitable for elk. “Slipping one between the ribs” is not a realistic way to hunt because of all of the variables (including bull fever). A more sturdy bullet is in order especially at that speed. I’ve seen several Bullets blow up on an elk shoulder bone so for me, it’s not worth the risk. I would also caution about shots over 400 yards on an elk regardless of what you see on TV in large part because of the same variables. Elk are tough and even finding the spot he was standing across the canyon is very hard when it takes you an hour to get there and perspectives change etc. [/QUOTE]
