[QUOTE="Guest, post: 58462"] Dakor, if you plan on using a VLD bullet I would go with the Cauterucio's. They are proven winners with High BC's. I'm not knocking Richard Graves or his bullets, I'm just saying that if I was spending the $$$ it costs for an elk hunt I don't need to experiment. The Barnes TSX or Accubonds if they shoot well in your rifle would be my first choice for elk out to 600. Barnes are deadly killers but I could never get them to shoot. I never tried the TSX bullets but I hear guys who hated barnes accuracy say they shoot real good. You did say in an earlier post that you are getting 3250 with the 160 accubond and 1/2" groups @100 yards. I think you would be very foolish to change this recipe! The BC is .531 that is more than fine for a 600 yard shot. Just think about it, you spend your hard earned $$$ for an elk hunt you have a great big game bullet shooting 1/2" and you're going to switch??? If it ain't broke don't fix it! Remember elk are one or the hardest animals to drop. [/QUOTE]
