[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 827442, member: 14204"] +1. Also for the OP's consideration, 210gr Berger VLD and 200 NAB. With all due respect, it's not necessarily true. I'm a big NBT fan on deer size game and smaller at 500 yards and closer but not sure nor have any experience on elk size game. I prefer the 200gr NAB over the 180 gr NBT. Here's just a quick comparison on price ... 180gr NBT = $21.49/50 [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/605175/nosler-ballistic-tip-hunting-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-180-grain-spitzer-box-of-50"]Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 180 Grain[/URL] 200gr NAB = $32.48/50 [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/193241/nosler-accubond-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-200-grain-bonded-spitzer-boat-tail-box-of-50"]Nosler AccuBond Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 200 Grain Bonded Spitzer[/URL] 210gr Berger VLD = $47.99/100 [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1076223473/berger-hunting-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-210-grain-vld-hollow-point-boat-tail"]Berger Hunting Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 210 Grain VLD Hollow[/URL] 215gr Berger Hybrid = $52.99/100 [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/719092/berger-hybrid-target-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-215-grain-hollow-point-boat-tail-box-of-100"]Berger Hybrid Target Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 215 Grain Hollow[/URL] 230gr Berger Hybrid = $52.99/100 [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/719092/berger-hybrid-target-bullets-30-caliber-308-diameter-215-grain-hollow-point-boat-tail-box-of-100"]Berger Hybrid Target Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 215 Grain Hollow[/URL] There was a thread quite some time ago, that Kirby Allen (IIRC, but please don't quote me on this ... and I apologize if that was not the case) where he recommended the Nosler Accubonds for <500 yards and the Berger VLDs for >500 yards - ?.
