My wife took a 5X5 Elk 10/11/2014 with her 270 win. using Hornady 140 gr SST bullet over R-22. One shot kill from 300 yards. Complete pass through. This bull went straight down. Bullet entered at the base of the neck just under the spine. Two vertebra were pushed up causing instant paralysis and hemorrhage from the severed artery.
Good deal!! Tell your wife congrats. Job well done.. Thanks for your input on the 140gr. SST as well..
