Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 168 TTSX shot placement

Here’s a pic of the inside of both shoulder of a bull elk I shot with a 7mm/140 TTSX, impact velocity would have been around 2600fps. Bullet hit a little higher than the red dot in AZ’s picture above, and the bull was perfectly broadside. At the shot, the bull hunched up and staggered about 20-30 yards before going down. Bullet broke both scapulas, and a couple ribs... before exiting for parts unknown. There was very little meat damage, but that little bullet did some serious work.
