Really?Did any of you shoot a bull elk in the ass with a 77 TMK a few months ago and fail to recover it? Someone on tw*tter found a crippled elk with a little green plastic tip in what used to be its hip. Rokslide actually mentioned in the comments as being at fault.
Yeah there’s a few of these. Though TBF it’s more calls to ban hunting generally or people arguing about whether green tipped .223 ammunition even existsReally?
Got it, must be true as someone randomly posted it. Glad you covered up thier name your so helpfulYeah there’s a few of these. Though TBF it’s more calls to ban hunting generally or people arguing about whether green tipped .223 ammunition even exists
I guess I am confused as to the point of your post. Is your point that Rokslide or this thread, in particular, are at fault (if we make the VERY large leap and assume this story is being relayed accurately)?Did any of you shoot a bull elk in the ass with a 77 TMK a few months ago and fail to recover it?

Oh, not at all. I was surprised to check back in with how important headstamps appear to be to people outside this bubble, even to people who have encountered this thread and then have it come to mind when they see an elk shot in the ass. My first thought was “why did he shoot it there?”, and the majority reaction is somehow still “why didn’t he use a bigger gun?”I guess I am confused as to the point of your post.

Is your point that had the shot been made with a .30 cal it wouldnt have been a problem? Again, just really not clear on your point.
Thanks. I wondered if that was a closer color/shape match.
Why you hef to be mad? I bought a tikka and now bully everyone I meet using anything bigger than a .243.Got it, must be true as someone randomly posted it. Glad you covered up thier name your so helpful

Nope, I only shoot them in the ass with a 300WM. It's much more effective. It's all about the "wallop factor" you get when you have lots of kinetic energy and large frontal diameter!!Did any of you shoot a bull elk in the ass with a 77 TMK a few months ago and fail to recover it?

I agree and don’t want a brigade over there. It’s wild to get used to the meticulous stuff posted here and contrast it with what the truth would be if everyone got to vote on it.I don’t think it’s worth arguing about, it’s suspicious 4th hand info at best, and assume a lazy attempt to stir the pot. Even the screen name “elk respecter” is suspicious in context
What are you referring to with your “yeah, there’s a few of these” statement?Yeah there’s a few of these. Though TBF it’s more calls to ban hunting generally or people arguing about whether green tipped .223 ammunition even exists
Man, I really signaled my intent poorly. I meant that I had found a few highly negative comments referring to this thread as if it were somehow responsible for this wounded animal. Sounds stupid to me, but apparently not to anyone else offering comment.What are you referring to with your “yeah, there’s a few of these” statement?
Silly.
Have you ever shot a big game animal with a .223 inside of 450yds with a Black Hills factory 77TMK?
