I shot this elk with a 300 Weatherby and 180 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. I was really fortunate to actually kill something with so little going for it, but I do like a challenge… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/HWJ5sGy4/IMG_2605.jpg)

Congrats on the bull!
I’ve used BTs in a 240 and 257 weatherby, and 7mm Rem mag on deer and antelope. They seldom take a step after the shot.

Congratulations! That pic puts a big fat smile on my face.
It also redefines the word "failure".

who cares. thats not elk hunting that looks like shooting elk in a pasture.

Those bullets in a variety of calibers have worked just fine for me. Nice raghorn. Looks very edible, and accessible.

I like ballistic tips. They do well on deer and pigs. The animals I’ve shot with them have never complained one bit.

OK shrapnel.
You owe us the technical's. Range, where did the bullet hit, did it exit, etc.

He scared it to death, maybe...

Last bull I got, I was using a Ballistic Tip too. It failed as well... Bull went 20 yards before he toppled over.  Oh yeah, that Ballistic Tip was a 95gr out of a .243 Winchester.

sharp, yeah it looks like that ballistic tip performed miserably. Perhaps next time you'll select a bullet that will kill something "deader"!
Congrats!
