Title: 300gr Powerbelt Aerolite VS Elk
Post by: MountainDevil54 on September 23, 2015, 07:46:20 AM: 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.

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.
