[QUOTE="sveltri, post: 3053190, member: 117169"] I've spent the last decade primarily hunting with a recurve, but do have a few rifle kills scattered in. I shot a cow elk at 140ish yards with a 300 WBY 180 Nosler AB. Split the scapula from top to bottom and blew right through her, had to put another in her head because I don't like to see them suffer. Next year I shot a cow, first at 200 with 7 Mag and 160 Nosler AB, shot her again at 300, and once more in head to end it. All those shots were in the "vitals". Took the 257 Wby to Nebraska for deer shot a couple from 250-350 with Berger 115 VLD's, both one shot both dead in a matter of seconds. Shot another cow 2 years ago at 387 6.5PRC 153.5 Berger LRHT, she walked 20ish yards and fell dead. I'll take "Target" bullets that exhibit a short neck length and violent disruption every time now. Temporary wounds do not kill, permanent wounds do kill and quickly. My daughter shot her first elk this year at 250 with a 260 RemAI and a Berger, not sure if it was 130 or 140. Barely got the back of one lung and the liver, 5 steps and she was dead in 12 or so seconds. This year I'm hunting elk with a 243 AI and 108 eld-m's. I know what my max distance is based on my practice and the minimum velocity threshold for that bullet to effectively disrupt is. [/QUOTE]
