[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 147633, member: 2011"] I'd never consider a Tx Heart shot on an elk,....unless it was fairly close no farther than 300yds and that specific chance would be the only and final opportunity, it was a 400+ bull and.....someone else was going to field dress the thing. I don't think that sufficient penetration would be a problem especially if none of the pelvic or leg bones were hit. Given the above conditions I'd have to pass on that rear shot...... A front on shot would be more reasonable IMO, but would still make a mess out of the field dressing part with that bullet and cartridge. [/QUOTE]
