[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2307835, member: 60453"] Another bullet that works really well is the Speer HotCor and the Speer Boat tail. The HotCor is made by putting molten lead into the jacket and so it tends to heat bond to the jacket. Also, like the Sierra ProHunter, it is made with a heavier jacket so it doesn't have much of a problem with core separation. The Speer 180 grain BT is inexpensive and is great for both practice and medium game. It will work for elk, too, but I like either the HotCor, the Nosler BT, or the Sierra ProHunter for elk in a 30 cal. out to about 500 yards, because of the heavier jacket. [/QUOTE]
