Barnes TTSX Performance on Elk (photos) - Long Range Hunting …
WEBJun 10, 2017 — We recovered one bullet from the 450 yard chest shot, which reached the hide on the far side. See photos below for the bullet shape, weight retention (99%), and petal expansion (1.5 x original diameter). I decided to try more power. Last year, I shot an elk in the neck at 200 yards with a 300 Win Mag 180 grain Barnes VOR-TX TTSX BT.

First Elk Hunt - bullet of choice for 6.5 PRC - Long Range Hunting …
WEBNov 11, 2018 — Shooting a 6.5 PRC at elk, he needs to tip the odds in his favor using a bullet that will hold together and penetrate. That gets us to bonded core bullets, partitioned bullets, or mono-metal bullets, all of which will do fine at the max range he indicated. But we agree on the ELD-X!

WEBMay 10, 2011 — A few years ago I started scouting in the Weminuche, Colorado's biggest Wilderness area, with plans for a bull elk hunt.

2021 Mill Creek Watershed Oregon bull elk hunt - Long Range …
WEBApr 28, 2022 — I got into reloading about 25 years ago. Back then it was about saving money. Now it's about reducing bullet jump, fine tuning loads and building confidence in the ability to put the projectile on the intended target. My 338 RUM loves 225 gr Accubonds, but really really loves 300 gr Accubonds. Being able to shoot 5", 5 shot groups at 800 gave me the confidence to take this shot and this bull.

So what wrong with a .243 on Elk? - Long Range Hunting Forum
WEBMar 25, 2011 — I've seen so many elk whacked with a 243 it still surprises me when someone seems to think you can't kill elk with one! I've seen elk piled up hard shot with a 243. Blow a hole through the lungs and they die, I've seen holes from a 243 through an elk chest that that would make a 338 blush in embarrassment.
