Great bull Mike! Elk bulls are just awesome and so majestic. Just curious…have you weighed the bullet to see what the weight retention was? I swear by Barnes X bullets and would be curious to see what your bullet weighs after it’s adventure through the elk. I shot a huge doe here in PA many years ago with my pet Ruger .280 Rem load with a 140 grain Barnes X bullet at 97 yards, frontal chest shot, and recovered the bullet while cleaning a rump roast in the sink. Washed it, carefully picked the meat out of it’s beautifully expanded petals, and dried it for a few months. When I weighed it months later it showed 139.6. Still have that bullet! I haven’t recovered any since then, but still use them exclusively in my deer and elk rifles.
Sorry to hi-jack your post a bit, but when I saw the bullet, it made me smile, but not as much as the bull did. Congrats on a great bull!
