Howdy all -
Just got back from my 3rd elk hunt with my FIRST Elk Kill! Respectable 5x5 shot in the Glenwood Canyon, unit 444. 220y heart shot on opening day of first rifle season. 300 win mag, 180gr Nos Accubond, 73gr IMR4350, 3130 fps muzzle. Bottom pic is the recovered bullet from behind the far shoulder under the skin. Bullet weight 180.0 gr when I loaded it on Oct 6, 2019. Ended up weighing 124.2 gr afterword. Elk was recovered less than 5 yards from where I shot him.
