RE: Success!!
Nice going, Charlie Brown. Hope you don't have recurring nightmares where you are squeezing the trigger on a big bull elk and the cap doesn't go off [8D]
Also, I'm somewhat amazed that the Maxi-ball, even with a modest charge of powder, didn't go clear through. I know there is a lot of bone and muscle in the upper back area, but they are known to shoot clear through elk on broadside shoulder shots.
