Ttsx any day of the week..

Because they create more trauma
Sound like you don’t have enough experience with ttsx or elk.
Elk aren’t bullet proof but you can keep your Grenades.
As mentioned earlier, your expansion will be useless with out penetration.
I have more respect for the animals than to use (M)atch bullets on thick skin and heavy boned animal

Grenades? Lol

Ya after they obliterate the onside shoulder and grenade the internal organs.

I'm sure you've seen bullets evaporate, in your own imagination.
And You sir, can keep imagining that match bullets will be busting through elks shoulders. Ugh.
I’ve busted elk shoulder with ttsx and while the bullet kept penetrating, maybe do the angle or what not, it missed the vitals. he required a 2nd shot when he stopped after running down a ravine and back up on the other side.
No way I’d try that with match bullets.
You do you bud.

I don't have to imagine schiet. I packed out three bulls last season that were killed with eldm's and an sst.

The bull I shot was sub 60yds, 140gr eldm. Broke the onside shoulder and exited. Same for another at 200yds. I think the sst was around 200 as well albeit from a 308.

No barnes b.s. needed. For the 50th time, elk are not bulletproof.
