[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2698193, member: 94556"] How far you choose to shoot an Elk depends on a lot of factors as well as where you try to hit them. You definitely have the bullets to harvest them at any distance ot angle you choose. Almost all guys I know, myself included, would avoid Texas heart shots. Interestingly, I got called by one of our customers this morning. He had to take a THS on a bull Elk he had to get before it entered private land next to public land he was hunting. The bull was headed away from him. He was using the 150 Gr BD2 from his 28 Nosler and hit the bull next to to the anus and dropped it right there at 200 yds. Bullet exited just shy of the Rt shoulder. He figured it had to have been at least 3 ft of penetration. You can be sure that the 284 caliber using a high speed case is a good option for Elk as well.
