[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 968348, member: 28191"] I wish I could say that we've shot lots of elk, but the fact is we've only shot this bullet in gelatin over a range of velocities. At the higher velocities, it acts like a ballistic tip, with the plastic tip initiating expansion, lots of fragmentation, and then the base and core penetrating deeply. At the lower velocities, it penetrates about 6" and then tumbles, creating a big temporary cavity at that depth and then penetrating 16" or more. I'm about as confident as possible without actually having seen an elk shot with this bullet. You gotta hit 'em to hurt 'em and if I was elk hunting this year, it would be with this bullet. (We elk hunt Colorado where ranges are usually long and this bullet would be launched from a .300 Win mag at 2900 fps.) [/QUOTE]
