First shot was back, 2nd shoulder, 3rd high lungs. All passed through. Bull died about 30 seconds after the video cut. I've had similar results with a 338 RUM and 250 grain Partitions......elk often don't die immediately.

BTW...at the end of the video, the dry fire was a result of a magazine malfunction. After the mag was reloaded and a new round chambered, the bull was dead.

The teenage daughter is recoil sensitive and the 7-08 and 120 grain bills are the ticket for lethal accuracy and result in confidence for her. None of the big game mentioned above have stopped a 120 grain BT.
