[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 25996, member: 3"] I can think of two easy methods to reduce that group size by 50%: Set the target at 50 yards and shoot again, Say you shot the 3/4 inch group at 200 yards! (Sorry, Dave King humor there, couldn't help myself.. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ) If it were me, I'd give up on the 165 BTip and shoot no less than a 180BTip and only expect to do that at long range. You didn't mention the elevation (altitude at location) and temp for your Elk hunt. This info could help a lot in determining the bullet to suggest. If you're going at 13,000ft ASL a somewhat blunt tip Partition that shoots accurate could be the answer. I would certainly NOT want to shoot a BTip into an elk at anything less than ~ 250 yards unless that critter was broadside if you're going to be at high elevation. SO.... more info please. [/QUOTE]
