Keep in mind I am big on the idea of two holes on an elk so for me I just don't see the 185 TSX as the bullet to you on elk out of a 338 Federale and or any of the other 338 rounds.
Short story, bud hit a nice 330 bull with 3 rounds at about 330 yds. Took a while but the bull went down. That's a lot of 3's isn't it...grin
Non of the 3 bullets exited. 338 Federale with 185's.
Now obviously he had a dead bull though. Personally, I feel that a large part of the drive to lighter bullets has to do with people trying to get more speed out of short action rounds.

Dober, out of curiosity, did you get to look at any of the bullets from that elk? I would be interesested to know what the expansion on those bullets looked like. I would think that 330 yards from the Fed is about max, as far as expansion is concerned, especially with the tougher Barnes bullets. Would love to have an idea of what those bullets looked like. Also, do you recall the details of the shots, ie angle, shoulder, ribs??? Thanks.
