Alright guys, I've killed my fair share of whitetail and wild hogs with a 6" 629 .44mag using Hornady XTP's in 240gr and 300gr. I'm going to start prepping for a elk hunt next year in Oregon. Now my .44mag will be in case I get a close shot, .308 will be my longer shot weapon of choice. My question is, will the XTP's have the penetration for a fully grown Elk? I've killed a 350# boar hog with the 300's and it had full left side to ride penetration but will it perform the same on a Elk? For you handloaders, I'm using 4227 and running on the higher speeds but not to Ruger levels.
