[QUOTE="dmj, post: 2248149, member: 73479"] I've used the 160 nosler accubond, 168 berger vld and the 180 berger vld. They all worked well. My experience with them is that the berger bullets put the elk down fast. Basically boom flop. The nosler bullet did it's job and the follow up shot was most likely not needed but I never have shot an elk with the nosler that I didn't end up using at least one follow up shot. Probably not necessary but they were still standing. Now one bullet that I have used but not in a 28 caliber is the hammer 181 in a 30 caliber and I am fast becoming a big fan of hammer bullets. Very easy to find a load that shot well and works really well on game. I am having a 7mm wsm built and my plan is to use the hammer bullet just haven't decided on which one. But I have no doubt that Steve at hammer bullets will help get me on the right track. Good luck with your decision and hunts. Be safe and have fun. [/QUOTE]
