I have no doubt that Pathfinder76 has shot many elk. There’s others here that have shot a few as well. Mythical creatures they are not though.
I used magnums and Barnes, partitions and accubonds for years. I subscribed to all the same teachings and spoke about how it was required for elk because they were so tough. Frankly I don’t care what anyone uses but I find it funny how hard it is for people to think outside the box even though there is more than enough compelling info available that is opposite from the magnumitus premium bullet gospel from the past.
The one thing I will agree with is Barnes cause less meat damage than the Match bullets.

I know, because I’ve personally witnessed, helped recover, and have done post mortem’s on critters which provided all sorts fun and games as a result of use of such bullets.
Crap happens and always will, and because of that, I’m convinced penetration and weight retention with moderate or larger bullet expansion, rules the day.
