Within 100 archery ranges (50 yards) I would venture it would pass completely thru an elk on a broadside shot. Elk have been effectively killed with 44-40 for years before the advent of more powerful rounds.
[I want to be clear, I mean no disrespect to the poster, it’s just an example.] I gotta lol when I read many posts similar to this. Folks “guess” that a bullet will “pass completely through” an elk? Through both shoulders? Deer sure, large elk doubtful. What if the hunter isn’t offered a “broadside shot”?
