I loaded some up a few years back in a 20” barreled 30-06. I can’t remember exact velocity but I think it was around 2450. I shot 1 whitetail doe and 2 cow elk. All 3 were shot in the ribs/ lungs.
The doe was around 200 yds and didn’t seem to react to the shot. She made it over 100 yds angled up hill.
Both cow elk were shot 50-75 yds. No reactions that I could see. One of them went back into the herd so I couldn’t make a follow up shot. It had to of been a minute and a half to 2 minutes later she fell over.
The other one about the same, except I missed a follow up shot. I was actually looking down at my rifle wondering if I had missed twice. A few seconds later she tipped over.
Didn’t seem to be a whole lot of internal damage.
I’ve since switched to Partitions. Only killed one cow elk so far. Didn’t knock her over but her body definitely reacted at the shot. She made a short death run.
