[QUOTE="fish850, post: 647664, member: 34010"] kcp0pph, thanks for the insight. Certainly the worst feedback I have ever received about the LM for Elk. You must have shot alot of Elk to know that a LM will reduce it to hamburger, and certainly I want years supply of meat like you are stating so I will take your advice into account. I have always found that a well placed shot will not destroy much meat at all. However I have not put a well placed shot on an Elk before with a LM. I have also experienced that a poorly placed shot may wound an animal, and is usually in the "meat." Hopefully that second shot is a well placed shot that does not make the situation worse and probably destory more meat. That is of course unless the 1st poorly placed shot still knocked down the animal. But then again I have not made a poor shot on an elk with a LM, nor do I ever intend to. I have never made a shot where the oven was not readily accessible, but then again I also dont have meat in the freezer every year. Then again alot of calibers would probably cause serious damage on a bad shot, close or long. Having said this I do own both an .06 and 270 Win. I do plan on bringing the 270 Win in case I am in the thick the whole time, and have more of a chance of close range encounters. The LR hunting style/ability can be a bit different from what I have gathered, where the terrain being covered can be selected and covered in a bit different way. I dont know because this is my first attempt. Again, thanks for the insight. I'll look forward to other current, present, or otherwise knoweldgable folks to answer if they think I might be able to solve the goals I have with my LM ammo selection. Thanks! -J [/QUOTE]
