I am shooting a 300 WSM and I have narrowed my selection down to two.....
180 grain Nosler BT and 180 grain Accubond. I have never shot an Elk, but, a friend of mine who has shot several of them is telling me to use the BT, saying that it is a forgiving bullet, meaning that if you make a poor shot the animal will get more torn up inside than with the accubond, giving me a better chance to recover the animal.
Please don't let me mislead you. I shoot well and have no intention of making a poor shot or taking a marginal shot, but things happen.
My gun shoots them equally well and I can see my friends point......... I am just looking for other opinions.
Thanks, Bob
