[QUOTE="OldBronc, post: 2507220, member: 121507"] Indeed. I've taken over 30 elk, with Partitions, Accubonds, Interlocks, TTSX, and now Hammer bullets, and I can recall instances where the elk didn't drop as quickly as I thought it would. And some of those were just as you described, with the heart or lungs being destroyed. It's also amazing how far the weight of an adult elk will carry it when it runs down hill. Gravity, and all that. I love the Barnes and Hammers, and I just spend time behind the rifle to work up accurate loads, and then make sure I take ethical shots within my maximum effective range. IMO we owe the elk that, regardless of the bullet we choose. [/QUOTE]
