[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 1002528, member: 48420"] Everyone has his favorite gun, scope, rangefinder, binoculars, spotting scope, etc., etc. As I have always posted here, if it works for you, keep doing it. But along with that goes another statement, never stop looking for something better. I think you might have had somewhat better luck with the accubond if you had gone a bit heavier and slowed them down a bit. Elk are big animals with big, hard bones, and you need to shoot them with a bullet that will stand up to hitting a rib and keep on going. I do not know if Nosler makes a 220, but that is what I would use for elk. My favorite deer load (for a 300 Win mag), despite the incident I cited yesterday, is a 150 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip ( the hunting version which supposedly will not blow up like the standard ballistic tip)in front of 81 grains of Reloder 22, in Nosler brass with a Winchester magnum primer. Speed is 3200 give or take a few. I know everyone touts Federal primers, but the groups are what they are, and in my rifle with this load, they are consistently tighter with Winchester primers. My favorite rifle, which I have also talked about ad nauseum on the forum, is the Remington Sendero. My favorite scope is the Meopta, which for brightness is heads and shoulders above Leupolds, Vortex, and all the others that can be purchased for $1000 or less.
