Elk and multiple shots

I killed this bull 25 years ago with a 50cal Hawken I built in JH shop class in the 70s.

He came out following some cows and I shot him at 120yds.
He stopped so I reloaded and shot him again
Took a few steps, gave me time to reload so I drilled him again. And he fell.
All 3 shots went right through him

I was using the Hornady 385gr Great Plains bullet


If they are standing after the first round, I’m still shooting.
