I have shot two elk with 160 grain Nosler Partitions, both were about 175 yards, first one was shot with a 7mm RM quartering away, bullet hit behind the left shoulder and came out the brisket the size of a tennis ball, the elk ran 40 yards and died, blood all over. The second elk was shot with a 7mm Weatherby Mag, broadside, shot went high just under the spine, took out dorsal artery, he went 5 yards and stood there long enough for me to shoot him again behind the should causing him to drop and die, no bullets recovered, big exit holes.
