I was not impressed by 100 gr of FFG on a patched RB through the shoulder of a big antelope buck at 75 yds. Though he did find a place to hide and die after running a few hundred yds.

Years ago I know many elk guides spent a lot of time cursing those RB shooters subsequently to finding them in bulls that were not recovered in ML season. Of course, lately we have discovered the modern elk are not as tough as those years ago and can't really pack any amount of lead. A sign of the times I guess.

PS, I'm not referring to the results obtained by expert elk hunters who put the ball through both lungs and can follow one up.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
