[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 3055434, member: 32631"] I have a memory on a bull elk shot that you stirred up. Before the up and down canyons that day I was broken up from quad wreck and thrown from horse before this happened. The third up and down different canyons after bull finally came back out after just saddling up ready to leave. 🙄 Got down to bottom. Gave range finder to buddy. Laid down on cactus. He said 543. I had my trusty factory Rem. 300 RUM . Awesome load with 180 TTSX. I figured 28 to max 30 in. drop. I knew how big a bull's shoulder to chest is. I held on hair and air on shoulder. Boom. He ran about 15 yards and turned around facing opposite way. I didn't know it but he was dead already. I saw still standing. Held same. Boom. Went down. Was like 15 seconds for both shots. When we got up to him I saw bullet busted through the left elbow of front leg into chest. Rolled him over and his right elbow was shot through into to chest. Buddy said dam ! You could put a rod straight though ! He had two bullet holes in his heart about 2 in. apart. I said that will never happen again. Cut up next day. Came in with pack horses. Was happy no griz or wolves got to him. Barnes TTX and TTSX are bone busting SOB's. Experienced same on other Elk and deer. Hammers kill quick also. Penitrait good but 4 pedals brake off and go wherever to cause damage. I've only found a few Barmes at longer ranges on off side next to hide. All but one the four pedals peeled back to double diameter and cut. Never had one animal with either go a few steps. I don't need a target bullet because I don't take shots over 600 yds. That's long range for me. Maybe there can be a short range forum for us short range old timers. I just never had the inclination to practice or shoot longe range.
