... I used up a cylinder full of Hornady

240 XTP factory loads on a cow elk, I had one left when she went down.

The first shot was perfect hit the crease behind her shoulder. After a few seconds and she didn't go down I put two more in the shoulder. The shoulder was broken and she wasn't going anywhere, but she wasn't going down either.

I must have missed with #4' I was running around and out of breath. But I settled down and broke her neck with #5 and it was finally over.

Good thing this was a meat hunt on a game ranch or I might have lost her. None of the three XTP bullets that hit the shoulder penetrated to the vitals. No more jacketed pistol bullets on game for me, and I knew better.
