[QUOTE="6MM06AI, post: 1604569, member: 55951"] I've talked to guides in my area and they say haven't seen a failure with accubonds on elk, I haven't shot an elk with one but shot a elk with a 140 6.5 berger at 3210fps at 485 yards and was not impressed. They work great on deer and antelope but won't shoot another elk with it. I have shot 6 elk with a 165 barnes out of my 300win at 3100 fps and all of them blew straight though. Had a guide tell me that his wife shot her cow elk with a berger, I think 7mm? quartering away, never made it to the vitals and lost the elk. The 215 bergers out of the 300 win or utra mag I hear have great killing power. The problems I hear about the partitions are the front half blows off and the rest just pencils through with not much expansion and a small exit hole [/QUOTE]
