If you hit an elk in the right spot, any old bullet will do but when you hit them in a marginal spot and need that penetration the 162-168 Amax is NOT the bullet you want to be shooting.
Had he been using a 208 grain Amax I think we would have been fine. That's not what was asked. I had never seen a 180 grain Corelokt blow up on the skin- maybe if there was mud there.
