I shot my first Elk with the 140 TTSX. I was quite curious what the bullet would do. It hit the cow in the brisket & traversed the entire thoracic cavity, exited the rear ham & re-entered the hindquarter & exited a second time. That cow was running about half trot when the bullet hit her. She slowed immediately and began to wobble, stopped & fell over. It reminded me of a young boy on his frist bicycle ride not knowing how to stop properly.
The 140 TTSX left the muzzle of my 7 Wby at 3400 fps. The straight line penetration surpsrised me. I have no doubt in my 280 being capable of the same within its velocity range.
