[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1121219, member: 7898"] First, sorry to hear about the shoulder. Here's prayers for a speedy recovery. I took my first two elk with the 25-06. Both were taken with a 120 Nosler partition. I'm not a big fan of the Barnes bullets on game, I have had too many that didn't open up enough and led to either long tracking jobs or the only 4 game animals I hit that I didn't recover. There are some notes in various forums that the Barnes work best (open up) after hitting bone. That said, if you're going to use the Barnes try and hit a heavy bone to be sure the bullet opens up. Can't help you much with Area 48 though other than to say you'll be in some beautiful country! [/QUOTE]
