[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 150971, member: 1403"] The 30 cal, 180g NBT sure is an elk/bear stopper. LIke I've said before, I laod this combo for 4 different guys and they use it on everything from antelope to elk and black bears. Finally found 1 bullet from an elk at 525 yards that was shot through both shoulders. It was about to fall out of the offside hide. The lead core was still intact, but fell out after I was messin with it. Expansion was great as usual, penetration was great considering it was shot through both shoulders. All the others have fully exited. I've done wet newspaper comparisons with the 180g NBT Vs. 180g factory core lokt. The NBT retained more weight and penetrated a couple inches farther then the core lokt. They were both pretty much flattened to a pancake, although range was either 50 or 100 yards for this testing, cant remember it was so long ago. I still have both bullets though and can take pics and show them if anyones interested. My point is this. Look how well the 180g core lokt has killed deer and elk. Thats all my uncle and his buddy use to use out of there 300 WM's. I couldn't get them to switch to a different bullet for nothing. Untill I showed him what a varmint bullet that 180g core lokt was!! If the 180g NBT is holding up better, why cant that bullet be used on elk?? I dont get it one bit how guys can say they wont even use them on deer. Beats the hell out of me. I"m not saying the NBT is the best bullet for super high velocity cartridges, but for your standard and regular magnum cartridges, the heavier for caliber NBT's sure do work. [/QUOTE]
