Nope, didn't get any pass through. I hit her in the back, which put her down, but didn't kill her. The shot was very slightly quartering to me, so the bullet went in, and then along the spine. We tried to find the bullet, but couldn't. I would guess, butthe amount of damage we found though, that thebullet penetrated an honest 12" or so, and elk seem to be a lot more "dense" and a hell of a lot more tough than a deer!!We gave up looking for the bullet after a while. Either way, the load worked, and I have elk meat in the freezer. I will be using that load from now on. I have confidence that it will do the trick!!!

BTW - she weighed about 450-475 lbs on the hoof.
