[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 378380, member: 10391"] If I’m not mistaken Nolser has posted on their web site the minimum velocity for the Accubond to expand properly is 1800 fps. Using the info on Noslers website an 180gr Accubond with a BC of 507 and a muzzle velocity of 3225 slows to that at about 825 yards. If you consider the established ft-lb of energy it takes to sub do an animal the size of an elk (1500 ft-lbs) then with the 180gr you would max out at about 725 yards. The numbers above are at sea level. So with altitude it gets better. I have seen elk taken with a lot less than the 1500 ft-lbs rule but would take Noslers advice on how their bullets perform and their limits. As elkaholic says there are a lot of variables and everyone needs to work their way up and find their own limits. I would keep foolin around with the 200gr as it will perform better. Good luck.
