[QUOTE="cornstalker, post: 501759, member: 12323"] Maybe when y'all figure this out you can explain to me why I dropped an elk DRT with a .284 Winchester and a 145 Speer Grand Slam at 425 yards, yet on the same trip watched an elk get hammered through the shoulders with a .340 Weatherby Mag at 250 ish yards, (sorry, don't know what the bullet weight was but it was a factory load), that got up and nearly ran off a cliff. It got dropped on the run 50 yards from the cliff edge by a 7mm RM. Autopsy revealed that the shot from the .340 should have been it. I still haven't been able to wrap my head around all that.... It makes me wonder if elk have a different understanding of terminal ballistics. :) [/QUOTE]
