[QUOTE="18whlsrolin, post: 1660984, member: 104384"] A lot of conversations have been kicked up on this subject since Randy of Randys custom guns in Cody WY started making YouTube videos by the name The Real Gunsmith. He kinda rants on a few vids about how almost all cup and core bullet are insufficient for elk sized game. He does have lots of experience. I would have to agree with him that Barnes along with others like hornady gmx and Nosler partition are overall superior to cup and core for hunting big game. But obviously many cup and cores have done great for tons of people so on and on it'll go. I will say that when shooting white tails I have seen many more boat tail cup and core bullets explode in multi unwanted directions upon contact with heavy bones compared to flat based cup and core. Hornady interlok flat based vs many BTs is what I've compared the most. Now I mostly shoot partitions or gmx and get great repeatable performance weather I hit shoulder or just behind it. [/QUOTE]
