[QUOTE="breakshntr, post: 1287834, member: 93027"] Personally I am a Berger and now ELDX guy. But most all of my shots on elk are in open type country and at some sort of range, 200 plus yards, out to 800+. Depending on what 30 cal you are shooting I would get some heavy for Cartrage not Caliber Nosler Accubonds. Original Accubonds. Lets say your using a 300 win mag or something very close in ballistic performance, I would get some 200 grain Accubonds or maybe 180 depending on your twist rate, most should stabilize the 200. The BC of both is pretty darn fair, a few years ago they were considered excellent, even if Nosler fudges a bit on their advertised BC. From point blank out to 800 yards you will be very happy with the bullet performance. Expect 50%+ retention plus at point blank and 80+% at longer ranges. About as good as you can get for a reliable, hard hitting, fail safe bullet at all ranges out to 800. A bit tougher than an eldx and a good bit tougher than a Accubond LR or Berger if a point blank shot is needed. Remember HEAVY for Cartridge. An other very good bullet to consider is a Seirra Game King also ran on the heavy end. [/QUOTE]
