The bullet on the right is a 180gr Hornady Interlock recovered from an impala (operative words being IMPALA and RECOVERED) shot at 80 yards on the point of the shoulder and recovered in the off ham. Weigh77grains. The little impala dropped like a sack, but had that been an eland, I'm not so sure. (the bullet in question is on the far right, the others are 300gr 375 H&Hs recovered from Zebra, Wildebeest and Eland at ranges from 65 yards to over 180, and the difference is obvious. So HOW MANY elk have you killed?

The BT in general has a much heavier jacket than the Hornady you used and certain BT'S are many times thicker.
I have killed three elk. I didn't see your question earlier.
