Title: Big Game Bullet
Post by: dbllunger on November 18, 2007, 12:03:55 PM: Too many options for specifics so I just used the major manufacturers.

ever see a nozzy bal tip or a sierra at super rates of speed? it ain't good for anything other than dogs. a barnes, partition, swift a frame..... will stay together enough to make the trip through an elk.

Post by: Kent Hunter on November 18, 2007, 11:25:16 PM: They are not on the list, but I shoot "North Fork" bullets. They are alot like a trophy bonded bear claw. I do shoot a Sako TRGS that is chambered in Lazzeroni Warbird 7.82 and these pills have performed flawlessly in everything from black bear to moose. I've killed bear , whitetail, mule deer and moose all with the same 180 gr North Forks and I wont shoot anything else. I recommend to anyone that has not tried them. If you give them a try guys I'm sure you will like them ALOT!!

Post by: bucklucky on November 19, 2007, 07:04:13 PM: Hornady interbonds work great. I had problems with bullets blowing apart until I went to these. Accu-bonds work great also, they have a little better balistic coefitiant than the interbond. I shoot a 300 win mag and also a 308 Norma magnum.

:o just cause the bullet has a plastic tip does not mean it's a 'balistic tip'. the 2 bullets, accubonds and balistic tips could not be more different. bt's are designed to pretty much EXPLODE, and that they do.... nothing like the accubond. and i agree, the accubond, or any other well constructed bonded bullet will penetrate further than anything other than maybe a barnes x bullet. i shoot 140gr handload accubonds.

Post by: DeKuma on November 27, 2007, 05:11:14 PM: Used Winchester 150gr. XP for deer this year, did the trick, but did fragment a bit, but it hit the far shoulder as he was walking, so it is expected.
Have not found the load that my new Tikka T3 .300wsm prefers yet.............

Post by: Idabooner on December 04, 2007, 01:45:05 PM: My 270 has never had anything but nozler partitions, 130 & 150 grain. The 30-06 I shot 200 gr. nozler partition for my grizzly. For deer, elk, black bear etc. I shoot the cheaper 180 hornaday interlock or 150 gr. sierra. I believe the most important thing is how accurate your rifle shoots a certain load. If you do your part with a good hit any major brand game bullet will do it's part.
