The question is about expansion isn't it? If the ATIP will expand instead of pencil or tumble on thin skinned game like Antelope, I don't see why it wouldn't do the same on big tough bullet proof elk.I watched the Gunwerks video with the a-tip on an antelope, big deal it killed an antelope the jury's out untill little tougher animal like elk and I'm not gonna be the one to test it on one.
Read this, answers tumblingmy testing with the 153 A-TIP showed more tumbling than expansion but maybe the 135s at higher velocity will give better results.

Ask Hornady, they will tell you the same thing. Just because it's a bullet, it's design is not for hunting.it is a match bullet, but people are already having a lot of success with it on game.
