[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1799215, member: 99519"] I have been watching a couple guys shoot thru clay pigeons on YouTube.....the first couple rifles i think we're 308 and 300wm... One clay difference between the two....they did a 50 cal...and they were talking about it was gonna tear apart 200 clays....it made about 100....i was surprised myself...i figured 160 pieces...all bullets from all rifles were obliterated....even the tipped 50 cal.... The biggest difference between all the rifles was the amount of clays blown in different directions at the beginning of the stack....other than that...really wasn't much difference...to me..this actually shows better bullet performance than water jugs....although it being a solid material.... I have a 65284 and 26nosler....have collected bullets from game that have traveled the lenght of the deer.....i would have to say complete bullet performance for the 142lrab from the 65284 and 140acc in the 26nosler....do I think they can handle an elk....well...most of my elk hunting is behind me..of which most were taken with an arrow... I feel the bullets i have and have not recovered show a correctly picked 264 caliber bullet will do it's job at realistic distances... I have seen and heard of heavier calibers losing elk..not that they didn't die...just weren't recovered.....i know of one big eastern oregon bull that took ten rounds to keep down....those bullets from 2 300wm and 1 300wby......different bullets from 3 different rifles...and the 150 corelok was the only bullet that was found inside the vitals...... I know whom was shooting the corelok..and which rifle.....it has accounted for a lot of elk......i also know the other shooters...elk was the meat for the table..... 264 bullets with the correct loads..and correct placement....will kill just as well as anything......
