So after reading (mostly here) about the 7-08’s capabilities on elk with the right bullet, my sons and I decided we’d use the ttsx 120 with the idea it would serve double duty on both whitetail and elk. My son shot a decent buck last week with the bullet traveling about 3100. Deer was 120-130 yds and my son was prone - so slight upward angle. The bullet entered side of the neck about 10” below the head, and came to rest just under the skin in the off shoulder. The bullet mushroomed perfectly.
I’m a little shocked that it didn’t go through and through on a whitetail, and am now questioning whether it will be adequate on an elk. Any thoughts are appreciated
