[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 391570, member: 2011"] My experience says that NBTs are fine for deer. I've had them travel in excess of 2 feet in deer and do the DRT thing with even with a low angle hit that went though the boiler room but no direct hit on vitals though internal damage was severe. They most always shed the lead core but the jacket remains intact. The 30 cal 180 should be fine for elk if the elk is a cow or small bull and if the vitals are hit. For large bulls that are pumped up with the adrenalin running high the tougher bullet in a high shoulder shot would be the ticket. Or take out both front shoulders. [/QUOTE]
