[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1085758, member: 2736"] I used to use the ballistic tip for longer shots because they still expanded well (Un like other bullets) When Nosler came out with the Accubond I tried them at short distance first and then started stretching the distance out and they seemed to be very consistent at all yardages no mater where the shot placement. (Very dependable). I even sectioned both bullets to try and see any difference. The only difference I could fine was the bonded jacket. this would explain why the Accubond expanded well at lower velocities (Same jacket thickness) but held together at ultra high velocities because of bonding. I still use the ballistic tip in some rifles because they don't make the Accubond in the weight the rifles like (I use a 120 Bt in some of the slower 7mms to gain velocity and it has a thicker jacket than the 140 Bt). On Elk I would recommend the Accubond because of the range of shots you might encounter. Ether bullet will not fail you if you do your part. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
