[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5848675, member: 5958"] Killed a 5x5 bull in NW Colorado with a 300 WinMag pushing 180 partitions at 3,000 PS. IIRC it was 120 yards or so....Hole was so big you could see Wyoming through it. Unreal blood trail, about 30 feet. Old story, I hit a big big big bull at about 100+ yards and he went to his knees, got up and ran out of sight, right into a hunter with a 7Mag. My rifle at the time was a 30/06 A-Bolt pushing 150 partitions at 3000 FPS. To me, the 180 is the lightest medicine you should carry in Elk Country. And unless forced to do so I would not use monolithic because as noted, they need velocity to open and you may get a shot at 400-500 yards and don;t want to sweat FPS. [/QUOTE]
