[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1983823"] I think it's a great thread and any recovered bullet is excellent discussion, IMO. Two thing I respectfully don't like about this comment, 1. I had to finish an elk cow off with a head shot at 465 yards just before she slipped into the brush. I saw the head and shoulders in the last clearing and I thank god that I carefully placed that 7mm wsm trophy bonded bear claw and she did not suffer long. Far from my ideal shot, I find hunting dynamic like this. 2. Although I completely agree that Nosler's plastic tips are the weakest out there, the NP is too proven too just be waved off by any one outfitter, unless it is an inexperienced one. The first elk I got was using a NP. It was bedding, front quartering towards me and I placed the hairs of my 270 on her center chest. I looked away from my scope to see this cow, standing straight up on her hind legs, front legs and head towards the sky and she fell back into the scrub oak. I found the bullet on the far side hide and it had expanded perfectly, fully blowing up half of her heart. [/QUOTE]
