Took my first elk this year. Debated what rifle to use but settled on the .30-06 and loaded some 180 gr. TTSX for it. At the shot the bull stiffened and I went ahead and hit it again but it was not really needed. Both shots were pass throughs on a broadside shot. Didn't take more than 3-4 steps. My father used the same handload last week on a couple of deer which accounted for a couple of one shot kills. Can't complain about performance and the load shoots well.
