[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1697671, member: 33751"] I've killed elk with my 300WSM using Nosler Ballistic tips (60yds-600yds), Sierra Tipped Match kings out to 773yds, Berger VLD's about 700yds, and 150 gr. Hornady SST's out of my 308. I know a guy that uses a 55 grain tipped SMK in 223. Seriously. Based on my experiences, the hoopla about using a cannon with a monster tuff bullet is marketing. It's the 9mm vs 45 acp debate that will rage until we start using laser blasters. As long as you hit the lungs, punch the diaphragm, the ensuing hemo-pneumo-thorax will kill the animal. Heart shots make em stop a bit sooner. Monster big tuff bullets will never compensate for lack of marksmanship. Use whatever shoots accurately in your rifle and you will do fine. Good luck on your hunt. Now let the lecturing, condescending attacks begin in 3.....2......1...... [/QUOTE]
