300gr Powerbelt Aerolite VS Elk

My dads elk hunt from Sept 16 in Colorado. He hasn't shot an elk in 23 years and was extremely excited over this one.

Nice work  :tup:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Nice! That puts my mind at ease...I love them for the accuracy and precision I get out of them, never hit an elk with one though.  Last whitetail I shot with a 300gr aerolite was at 75 yrds, double lung complete pass through, exit was ~size of a quarter.  Blood trail was excessive.

How much powder was he pushing that bullet with? Put a pretty good hole in her. Hell of a shot!
