[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 856405, member: 30671"] My input is on the side of not doing it with a .30 caliber 180 grain bullet. I've seen the Nosler 180 partition fail twice on that shot 1x on an old bull elk, the other on a moose. .300 Winchester magnum both times. Both were recovered due to follow up shots. The subject won't be less controversial a second time around. In this scenario bullet mass is your friend, if you're looking for reliability. It can happen, and it can fail. That aside I wouldn't let it interfere with time in the field with your Dad. [/QUOTE]
