[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1766510, member: 94420"] Well you decided to rule out most mono metal bullets, I don't have a problem with using traditional bullets but your reasoning is wrong. I used to take your approach, I eventually realized the bullet I chose was a minuscule portion of the money I spent on a hunt. So if I spend $100-200 on a bullet for a hunt that offers the performance I want then I haven't spent that much money in the scheme of things. I've been shooting some of the Federal Trophy Bonded Tip bullets lately in my 06. I prefer the 165 grain even for elk, but you can get them in 180 grain. They blend bonded bullet tip portion with a solid copper shank, so it's a hybrid bullet that offers great penetration and expansion.

I haven't taken any game with that bullet yet, but I've not seen any indication that I can't deliver them accurately on game.
