I watched a friend hit an elk in the vitals with a 180 accubong from a 300 wsm. The ciw dropped and rolled down hill about 59 feet then got up and headed up hill away from us. I kept telling him to shoot it again but he didn't like the angle so he didn't shoot. He tracked it for a few miles and lost the tracks.

The night before I dropped a huge cow elk with my 30-06 and 180 accubonds at about 430 yards. I put three rounds in her before she dropped
Same friend gave me a hard time fir shooting my elk full of holes. After loosing his the next day he said know I know why you always keep shooting until they are down. You never know what a bullet has really done.
