[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 277376, member: 10178"] I vote for the Speer 120 Grand Slam for bear or elk. I tried this bullet out on deer from my 25-06 and only recovered one bullet out of around 10 deer shot. That was shot into the chest of a big body buck that was right at 40 yards away. It knocked him back on his butt and he fell over dead. I found the bullet in the ball socket of it's left back hip. It weighted 87 grs with a text book mushroom. If that bullet going 3000 fps will hold together and go through some 4 1/2 feet or so of deer and still weigh 87 grs and shoot match bullet accurate it gets my vote. I stopped using this bullet because I think it is too tough for deer size game. On broad side lung shots I had deer want to run off about 50 yards before they went down for the count. I switched to 117 Sierra pro hunters and they drop in their tracks. [/QUOTE]
