[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1992505, member: 10178"] In my experience with 25 cal rifles with cup and core bullets impact velocity much over 3100 fps is not desirable. They really come apart. With the mono bullets 2000 fps is the lowest impact velocity I want to work around for good expansion. The bonded bullets like the Accubond work very well at a wide range of velocities. On animals as large as Elk I would prefer more bullet weight than 100 gr. Bear, if it is black bear you will be ok with what ever you want to use for deer but if it is grizz pack more rifle pushing 200 gr+ bone crushing bullets. If you don't expect to shoot really long range don't over look the old 115 gr Nosler Partition for deer. [/QUOTE]
