[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1294405, member: 2736"] Even though I really like the 120 Ballistic Tip for deer, I think the 140 Accubond would be better for Elk because it is bonded. The 140 can be pushed to almost 3000 ft/sec with 44 grains of Varget. the 120s can reach 3150 ft/sec using 45.5 grains of Varget. The 120 would kill an elk with good shot placement but the 140 would/could give you an edge on larger game like the Elk. In my opinion, anything larger than a 150 grain bullet will be to slow and bullet performance would be limited by distance. When shooting paper, the 168 grain SMK works well to 1000 yards, where accuracy is very important and bullet performance (Expansion) is not an issue. Don't underestimate the 120 ballistic tip because I have dropped many large hogs in there tracks and some have been over 350 pounds and we all know how tough they are. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
