I harvested a small cow elk three years ago with a ,356 {( a .358 with a rim) 250 grain older cup/core }the shot was 20 yards the elk went 50 feet.
I harvested a medium sized cow at 45 yards with a .308 BLR (180 grain Nosler BT). It went 60 yards.
The shot placements were similar on both elk.
As I have read here on the campfire. I believe it was an Elmer Keith quote.
“ U could eat right to the hole”.
The .35 caliber bullet did exactly that.
The .308 there was some meat loss in the front leg area.
