[QUOTE="Eagleye242, post: 1699771, member: 111043"] BG; you are obviously pushing the 1st design lrab quite fast to get the blowups you describe. I'm not a huge fan of hunting elk with bullets under 7mm. We have some pretty big bulls here in the area I hunt in bc. My pet elk killer is the 8mm Rem Mag, driving the 220 A-Frame at over 3000. Next in line is the 308 Norma mag....210 lrab right at 3000. No elk i have shot with these combos has gone beyond 50 meters , and meat looses are acceptable. Last elk taken with the big 8 was quartering toward me at 270 meters. That A-Frame smashed through the shoulder destroyed the lungs and was recovered under the hide in his flank. He went nowhere after the shot. I would not have attempted that shot with a fragile bullet. Dave [/QUOTE]
