[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2941788, member: 124360"] Well, the rifle did its job. As i mentioned before, this is my brother's rifle and he got a tasty young bull with it. We're meat hunters and try to go for young ones over size especially the first one if we are both going to hunt. We'll do more steaks with a young one and more jerky/ burger/sausage with a bigger one. Last 10 min of the last day of 2nd season. I couldnt hunt 2nd due to being gone work for most of it. As it turned out, the elk nearly walked right up to bro berfore crossing a fence and he had to hunker down and freeze to avoid being seen. (Fence was in the way to shoot) . After it jumped rhe fence, he let it get 100 yds away so he didnt spook it when getting back into shooting position, and let fly. The terminal ascent did its job, though it ran further that you'd think it would with a big hole through the top of the heart, part of the liver, and bottom of the lung and a shattered shoulder. Went about 100-150 yards before collapsing. It was quartering away - went in behind the on side shoulder and punched through the off side shoulder. Didn't recover the bullet. Left 1.5" to 2'' holes respectively. [/QUOTE]
