Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Plain Jane gets er done

The shot was about 125-150 yards. It's a load of 50 grains of H4895 that I haven't bothered to chronograph. From the Barnes data it should yield about 2900fps MV.
The cow was slightly angling away and I shot her a bit farther back than I would have liked because she was beginning to move as the shot broke.
The bullet entered mid ribs, took out part of the liver, put a large hole in the diaphragm and exited just behind the off shoulder. She ran about 30 yards in a semicircle leaving a lot of blood on the snow and expired. If hunting bulls the 165's at max velocity might be a better choice but I've used the 150's on a lot of deer and have great confidence in that load. As you can see, it is accurate.
