"The load? 370 GR T/C Maxi Ball; 80 grs Goex 2f."

Dont feel bad, at least you got your elk! I put 1 shot high into the spine area, chased the deer down, put another shot into it, chased it down even more before cutting the things throat. Maxiballs are horrible and i have a hard time just using them on paper.

80g 2f and that 370g conical is more than enough when using other conicals.
