Howdy Guys I've been a hunting guide in the great state of NM. for a while and have seen a good number of elk shot and have shot a good number myself. Use the partitions don't even consider using balistic tips with a hyper .30 like the weatherby. Your asking for a non penetration nightmare. I've personally seen a 180gr sierra out of a .300 Weatherby stop on the near shoulder leaving a barely bleeding flesh wound. If your going to shoot a fast gun on elk use a solidly constructed bullet.
