[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1662941, member: 73428"] I shot a young bear with 30 cal. Hornady 168 Hpbt - 25 yards. Went in behind front shoulder, veered off and lodged itself in his neck just below his head. Bullet never opened up & expanded. Also friend used same bullet @ 500 yards on a young bull elk, 3 shots all of them penciled through, we caught one bullet in offside shoulder, no expansion. That was enough for me! Now running tipped bullets with no expansion issues in the ol 30-06. [/QUOTE]
