[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1938523, member: 103947"] If you've hunted long enough with numerous hunters or heard the stories of recovered and/or wounded lost animals, you'll hear stories of all kinds of bullets failing whether there bonded hunting bullets or poly tipped/HP match style bullets. One thing I've found when hunting large boned game animals is use well constructed bullets if shot placement may be compromised. Hitting bone or big heavy shoulders isn't a good idea with many bullets unless they are a very heavy solid core or bonded type bullets. Any bullet that expands will perform on any big game animal if hit properly. The word Perform carries a huge definition. It may fragment, it may open up text book style (mushroom) or it may separate into 2-3 pieces. I'll be using my 338 LM improved also this year. I'll be deer hunting with it using the 230 eldx. Not ideal for the lapua improved but I kinda like deer meat so I'll try and preserve as much as possible. On an elk, I'd be using the same bullet your considering. I've only heard positive results from that 300 grain bullet on elk and moose. [/QUOTE]
