I am coaching a woman who is learning to hunt in her 40's. She shoots a Tikka 7-08, and we standardized on the 120gr TTSX as her hunting bullet. The day before yesterday she shot an average sized muley doe in the front of the chest (i.e., it was looking at her dead on) at about 125 yards. DRT, and I found the bullet just under the skin of the stomach, right in front of the hips, as I started to field dress it. So it had gone through about 30" of critter, from sternum to hip. Recovered weight was 106 gr, and two petals were gone. Makes me think it would be adequate on elk as well.
