[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 869706, member: 68226"] I realize this is a very old post. But I feel compelled to share my experience and game losses. I used a 162 gr amax on a Elk..was loosing it until another hunter hit it with a 175 Sierra Gameking. Upon retrieval my shots jellied the wound channel, a 4 inch wound channel, Same load Retumbo 74 grs, win mag primer 162 seated to lands and shot a Idaho Antelope at 700 yds. Had to be finished off at 100 yds by son with another rifle load. Loaded up SMK and had better luck but normally game did not expire quickly. Sometimes they even got up and tried to walk away until a follow up shot did more damage. This is when I learned that the MANUFACTURES probably know more about bullet design than we do. DUH! I don't care if you believe what you read on the internet and other peoples success stories. EVEN IF THEY ARE FAMED ON THE INTERNET! Target bullets are not for hunting. With the Long Range Accubonds available and Barnes Long Range bullets I hope These builders will promote more ethical hunting and build rifles for the hunting purpose. Not to build to brag how great they shoot on paper. Last time I checked paper s not the same as flesh and bone! This I a quote from the Nosler rep..O so very true the quote is.. Next is who ever said that a high shoulder shot is the vitals. POOR shot to even try. Lets go back to grade school and learn anatomy. WOW I can not believe a "EXPERIENED" person admitted to this. Call Sierra and Hornady and they will tell you only a goof ball would use these bullets to hunt with. " THE INTERNET HAS MADE US ALL EXPERTS OVER NIGHT" [/QUOTE]
