I've killed 10 elk on 12 trips in New Mexico over the years using a 30-06 with Barnes TTSX 165 grain bullets out to 590 yards. Dropped everyone but one in their tracks.
The only bullet recovered was from an elk shot in the neck from 400 yards. It collapsed and rolled down the mountain for awhile.
I'll have to get on my phone tomorrow to post pics of the 590 yard shot. Dropped the cow in her tracks.
