[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 360358, member: 2736"] I have also machined some of the 500gr banded solids and the triple shock Barnes a after placeing a secant ojive and a boat tail on the solids they weighed 425 grains, The Barnes triple shocks ended up at 450grs. I was experimenting with a 45/120 sharps for long range and they out shot all other available bullets. Also I did the same thing to some 400 grain 416 bullets and they were phenomenal and shot the best group in my life (.034 center to center @ 100 yards). So if you know anyone that is a good machinist you could make some bullets that had some good BCs. (The 500 triple shock has a BC of .526) and if you boat tailed them it should get a little better.) Most people find it hard to even get a 1000 yard shot on Elk so being practical I would think it would work very well on Elk and as for the tissue damage there is normally much less with big bullets . And by the way the Hornady leverevolution bullets don't hold up at such high velocities because the are designed for 2500ft/sec and down (Impact velocities are normally below 2000 ft/sec) PS: the accubrake is a baffled/chambered type brake and is reported to reduce recoil by 54%. I don't know how accurate those % are but I do know they really work because I removed one from an accumark in 30/378 and fired it and there was a tremendous difference in recoil. If you want one buy one. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
