Brad, I've killed a LOT of game with Fail Safes, from eland size down to gazelles in Africa, plus elk and mule deer over here. Never noticed if any penciled on thru but everything died in one helluva hurry! Since then I've used the TTSXs in my 300 and 270 with similar results. No flies on other bullets like NPs or Swifts, North Forks, etc. but none give me the accuracy those TTSXs produce. I've got an elk hunt to do this fall, going to use my 7mm Mashburn, which is currently being built. I might just switch up and use a NP, or maybe a 160 BBC someone was gracious enough to supply! In either case, I'm sure the elk will die rather quickly if I do my part. And that type of result is common with most calibers/bullets if the hunter can shoot accurately.
Jorge, Take that 300H&H and enjoy your first elk hunt. Any 300 is never a bad choice for elk, and IMO they're still the single best cartridge for most hunting and for most species under the widest range of circumstances.
