[QUOTE="statjunk, post: 420786, member: 18873"] Hello All, I took an Elk this week with a .30-06 with handloaded Nosler Accubonds. A little about the Elk. It was between 5.5 and 6.5 years old and weighed between 600 and 700 lbs according to the DNR biologist. It was a 6x6. The handload, 53.5gr of IMR 4350 with a 180gr Nosler Accubond, Winchester Primer seated .03" off the lands. The bullet was traveling approximately 2500 fps. Two shots taken at 210 yards. First shot was a lung shot. Very small hole on the way in, couldn't hardly get my pinky in it. Blew a 1.5" section of a rib away. Left a tiny pencil thin hole on the off side. Second shot also at 210 yards went in on the right side of the chest, opening another pencil thin hole traveled through the vitals, through the guts and exited just before the rear hind on the right side opening a nickle size hole. So essentially I felt that there was very little expansion. I would have expected the bullet to expand on the lung shot because it hit a rib and blew a section of it out. Then on the cross the body shot I would have expected no exit wound. What is your guys take on this type of bullet performance? Tom [/QUOTE]
