DANNNNNGGGGG they shaved a TON of metal outta that receiver!!!

Tom, that bullet aint even fit for whitetail let alone Elk!!! You sure you linked the right one? 79 grain aluminium core? And you are calling that overkill??? That bullet is a personal defense MAN killer! Designed for weak penetration and rapid expansion. It MIGHT get through a rib shot but I wouldn't trust that weak little bugger anywhere near a shoulder. It's designed to basically blow up inside a HUMAN target and not pass through. And lets face it, we aint built anywhere close to the toughness of an Elk body!
