[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 806265, member: 13833"] Greg.....I make bullets and you have received quite a bit of good advice. I may have missed this in a previous post. What range do you intend to shoot? You might compare the flat base against the boat tail at 300-400 yards and see if there is the difference in accuracy that you experienced at 100. If not, use the gameking for the higher b.c. (higher energy/velocity). Also, I would suggest that a 100 grain thin skinned .243" diameter bullet is mighty light for elk! Yes, it will kill them but it will also wound them if things don't go EXACTLY as planned! Not very much room for error.....Rich [/QUOTE]
