RE: Best place to shoot an elk??

FWIW my only failure on head shots was with a small high speed bullet. Took the deer down but it got up to my surprise and we never found it...... Now even on head shots I'm in the 30 cal range. FWIW the 22-250 and 243 had been 100% up till then. With 5 deer a year over the years.....
Manboy- misunderstood the 209 thing. Glad I'm using 777 as we hunted in 5 days of rain last year and the gun went bang both times it was supposed without a sealed breach.
