That is a load of crap. Any shot taken with a premium bullet that kills well can be matched by well chosen cup and core bullet. Same goes for any shot that wounds and any shot that simply miss's!
No. Majority of elk I’ve killed have been angling shots. A bullet that penetrates and does it consistently isn’t just a choice. Both elk I killed this year were shoulder shots into the bigger shoulder joint/ leg bone. A standard cup & core has low odds of reaching the boiler room.
Sometimes no matter how good we think we are the bullet doesn’t always hit where it should. Whether it hits bone or has to travel a ways to reach the vitals a premium is essential.
From my own hunting, to guiding, or with family and friends, I have spent enough time chasing elk hit in the right place with the wrong bullet. Do the the elk and yourself a favor and use a premium........

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.
