As long as you're breaking that off side shoulder, I'd be very happy. Elk have tough hides that get tougher the further towards the head you move, so an exit isn't always going to happen. Nice when it does, but that's a lot to ask.
Where I get bothered is when the bullet turns or stops before busting that off side shoulder. Have had it happen with a 165 speer hotcor out an 06 (stopped) and again this year with a 160 accubond out a 7mm saum (veered). One of the reasons I prefer the X's. That thick hide might stop them, but the bone won't.
Fantastic bull, btw! Congrats!!!!
