[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 412294, member: 13632"] Some of the most epic failures I have seen on elk have been with a BT, I see several every year not make it past the shoulder on an elk, in my opinion they are the worst possible elk bullet, you will tear up more organs with the AB because it will penetrate while open. Long range the BT would work fine because it would act more like an AB. Use the Accubond, it will give you more shot potential than the BT and get through shoulder bones. I took a guy last year that punched a cow in the shoulder at 75 yrds with a 300 WSM and 180 BT's, I finished her 3 days later when I found her on the edge of a herd, only 45lbs of meat was salvaged. She died to an Accubond not the BT! Cut an other cow elk that took 3 BT's out of a 7mm at the 200 yrd mark in the shoulder and not one penetrated the rib cage, I could not salvage any meat on the front quarter. I had a hard time trying the Accubond because of how bad the BT is but I'm glad I did!! This is very biased I know so take it for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
