[QUOTE="6mm Remington, post: 596080, member: 35254"] My son his second year of hunting. 6mm Remington 90 gr. Nosler E-tip at 250 yards. One shot and dropped on the spot. [IMG]http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab134/davidwalrod/Jeffsdeer003.jpg[/IMG] 2010 with my son's first elk. 6mm Remington 90 gr. Nosler E-tip at 350 yards. One shot behind her right shoulder and the bullet exited his cow's left shoulder. She went about 25 yards and dropped. He was laying prone using a bi-pod and there was no wind to contest with.
