I like elk to drop ASAP, but will gladly take an occasional 100 yard runner to avoid this kind of mess.


Mmm.....I think that result was from a lot of velocity,and a bullet not up to 340 Weatherby velocity. Sort of understandable....have not used that combo but have seen the 338 and 340 work plenty with 210-225 NPT,and heavier bonded but without that carnage, and dead stuff.About those distances ,too.

There is this middle ground between the explosive nature of some bullets in fast magnums, and the hard, deep penetration of an X that may suit,and still work to your liking on the lung shots.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
