[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 3047869, member: 108576"] A lot of good insight here! I had a chance to visit with a former big game guide and he offered some information that has changed my thinking on bullets. He said in over 30 years of guiding Elk/Deer hunters he has seen just about every bullet success and failures.I told him my favorite bullet and he said he saw the Accubond bullet fail several times and not the fault (most all the time) of the bullet itself.He said the shoulder of an elk has several muscle groups moving in different directions nearly all the time.That can cause a bullet to be influenced and may not travel in the direction intended.It may exit or not exit.Most blame the bullet but it's circumstances of muscle movement so a second shot may be needed. I felt his information was valuable to me as it explained a lot.He said he has seen nearly EVERY bullet fail and seen cheap cup and core bullets work magic and take an animal. I still shoot my same bullet (Accubond) and will load some more Bergers to try again. We have never had it so good bullet wise!Use what ever you get to shoot well in your rifle but always consider the possibility of a second shot! [/QUOTE]
