What Bullet? What Caliber? What was the Performance like? Pictures! Lets Debate this with evidence!
Totally agree, just trying to see what everyone's best bullet combo is as far as with evidence. Because its always an argument about what one is best like berger, hornady, nosler, etc.I'll play along - 165 grain Interbond, 30-06, 250 yards after angle comp - real distance just over 300. Bull travelled about 40 yards. This bullet/caliber combination has taken quite a few elk for me. Not sure what to debate? Gobs of great combinations out there if the shooter does his/her part.

I understand. I'm a fan of bonded lead bullets for big game. I don't care for the non lead offerings available on the market. To me, that is the real debate where people differ.Totally agree, just trying to see what everyone's best bullet combo is as far as with evidence.

Ahhhh.... not sure who can follow after that picture of your bull. Way to kill a partyI'll play along - 165 grain Interbond, 30-06, 250 yards after angle comp - real distance just over 300.

My buddy and I have taken a few elk with 180 grain corelokt. Pretty underrated bullet in today's hunting world. They always worked great for us.215 yd shot with 175 grain corelokt 7mm

Every time that I have made a bad shot or didn't hit the animal right where I wanted to and have taken my rife back to the range to correct the problem I have found that the problem is with the person that pulled the trigger.I will admit I need to go to the range and work with my scope. My shot was a bit high and further back then where I was aiming so I need to make a few corrections to my set up. I enjoy shooting long range at the range and I know I would miss my mark passed 600 yards. 500 and less I was confident in my set up but I was not happy with my shot placement on this bull.
This would be my thoughts. Not saying it can’t get the job done, but there’s just a little better offerings when you’re moving from a 7 MM to a 28 Nosler.5 mulies and a 6X bull this yr with my 28 Nosler with the 162 eldx. Excellent deer round but a little too fragmental for my likings for elk.
I would normally agree with you on this because it’s happened to me many times. But this time I think it’s the equipment. I will report back. I hope it was me that way it will be easier to understand what happened.Every time that I have made a bad shot or didn't hit the animal right where I wanted to and have taken my rife back to the range to correct the problem I have found that the problem is with the person that pulled the trigger.
