One one elk hunt I encountered another hunter who killed a cow from about forty feet! He was using a .30-06 with 180 grain Core-Lokt. That bullet entered the near shoulder and was found against the off side of the pelvis. I do believe a .300 Weatherby would have killed it much faster since the elk went at least 300 yards and maybe 400 after being hit.
He had a young son with him so I gave them a hand getting it out.
