Hillbilly: Elk are large critters....and don't always react to hits like a deer might....and I have seen them appear unconcerned from a hit that made them dead on their feet....for a few seconds anyway....

But the picture of an 80 yard bull taking 14 solid chest hits from a 7/08 without expiring,where the shots got into the chest....gives me pause....and goes contrary to what I've seen with comparable loadings..who knows?



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
