I just put a grizzly down where he stood in the Yukon with a 180yd shot using a .30-06 180gr TSX. He was shot through both front shoulders, broadside. A post-mortem, butchering was not in the cards, but pencil hole in/pencil hole out. It was as if a bolt from Thor hit that bear. All the guys at camp were surprised at the performance of the lowly .30-06, as they were packing .378 Wby's for bear.
Nice elk, congratulations!
Don

Fine work by your father, and thanks much for posting.
The TSX is a terrific, expensive bullet. So, too, is the A-Square Dead Tough. If you have time and inclination, give the A-Square a real-world test...I do not think you will be disappointed. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it...not a thing wrong with the idea of TSX Forever.

Well done fellow Michiganders. May the best memories stay forever fresh.
I hope I draw a MI elk tag while I can still use one. Been trying many years.

Thanks for your story.
Nice Elk, glad you and your father had a good time.
I shoot the TTSX in my 30-06 they do the same. Kill stuff dead.<g>
Have a good day.
