[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1797023, member: 112579"] I just looked at the hammers. All the bullets you showed would be good I think except the accubonds. I had 2 bad experiences with them. I shot a huge bull elk in Canada with a 30 mag loaded with 200gr accubonds. A Manitoba elk is a bigger sub species. All the guides said my bull was over 1200 lbs. He was around a hundred yards away. lung shot to the opposite shoulder. It froze him up but I am a shoot until they are on the ground type. Next was a high shoulder shot. Knocked him down but he pushed himself back up with his front legs. Now I am gobsmacked. I couldn,t believe it. High shoulder shot again which knocked him over but still windmilling so a final in the brisket to the spine ended it. When we field dressed him the lung shot there was a hole through the size of your little finger with a bruise around it the size of a ping pong ball and that was it. hmmmmm In my opinion they were opening too fast and spent too much just getting inside. That is the last accubond I have ever used. [/QUOTE]
