[QUOTE="105Coues, post: 1133530, member: 65989"] Congrats to you all! That sounds like a morning dreams are made of. When my kids started hunting elk with a 270win, I had them use the 130 AB. My daughter shot a cow at 60 yards in the chest, bullet went through and cow went 50yards. The front of the bullet came apart for great terminal damage and the base went on through. I was pleased. However, her next was a 6 point bull at 475 and she shot him twice, 2 inches apart, through both lungs, and i was watching the bullets hit dirt on the other side. He wobbled and fell. Since then, i recoved one out of a bull my wife shot and it was a perfect mushroom. This bull was close and he face planted. I have seen many elk shot with up to a 338 and recognize how tough they are, however, i like my bullets to open up on game so i went back to the ballistic tips which i have used for years. I thought the ABLR would be better since it has a lower terminal velocity than any others, i think down to 1300 from 1600 or 1800 for the others, but i have not tried them. [/QUOTE]
