[QUOTE="muley guy, post: 1453773, member: 46783"] Agree with many who have had experiences where the animals seem to absorb enormous energy from well placed shots and can get clean away. I have been lucky and had more normal experiences where the well placed shots were good enough and the animals went down. PREMIUM bullets are worth their weight in gold to help you anchor elk. My elk rifles are: .300 wm, .325 wsm, 8mm mag, .338 mag, and .375 H&H. My wife has killed elk with her .30-06 using 180gr. Nos partitions. She always takes careful well placed shots at distances of 200yd. and closer. I use bullet weights 200gr. and up depending on the rifle from the list above. My friend who has harvested 28 elk over the last 32 years said to shoot and keep shooting until they are on the ground. I haven't had to use more than two shots to get one down but have not forgotten the advice. [/QUOTE]
