My thoughts exactly! I wouldn’t use less than a 300 gr bonded or controlled expansion bullet for elk or other tough game.While Arizona might allow a .40 bullet to be used on elk, they're big, tough animals and I think that regardless of how well one can place shots with even premium bullets of .40 caliber, ethics should be considered. Many states feel a .45 cal is not enough.
There's a huge difference in what a gun/bullet does on paper at a range and what it does on a truely big game animal.
