[QUOTE="BigGrizz, post: 1271766, member: 85529"] We were in the dark timber. Snowy Range Wyoming. We were moving through the timber to get a vantage on a valley so we were more or less passing through to get to a glassing spot. We came across an aspen drainage, and I noticed a fresh rub while at the same time about 7-8yds downhill from me I heard a click. I knew it was my buddy switching the safety off on his 7-mag. I turned to ask him what was up, and he pointed across the drainage and said elk. The bull was no more than 75yds from us, but in the dark timber it's pretty far. My pal shot as the bull was walking away from us but still broadside (not quite quartered away). When I picked the bull up I aimed in front of him and waited until the dark fur of his neck transitioned to light and shot. He only made it five more yards. I shot a second time to make sure he was anchored, but it wasn't necessary and didn't even connect (I shot an old 4-inch pine and cut it down lol). They do their job for sure. No meat damage, and it turned his insides into vital purée. The internal damage was amazing. Any other gun and I'd use something more weight rententive, but a fragmenting 250 out of a Lapua? Penetration is never a concern. [/QUOTE]
