I had the pleasure to be in on a few elk stalks this year. Our crew had a very successful 3rd season in a unit that is not known for large elk populations.

The most interesting part is all the bulls were taken with a Nosler offering: Accubond, Partition and Ballistic Tip.

30-06 180 grain Accubond 186 yards


30-06 180 grain Partition 250 yards


300 Win Mag 180 grain Ballistic Tip 200 yards

More bullet reports .....

Accubond retained weight of 110 grains = 61.1%

Partition retained weight of 112.5 grains with a 30 grain lead core separation = 62.5% or 79.2% dependent upon how you look at it.

Ballistic tip retained weight of 106.9 grains = 59.4%

Honestly surprising that none of those bullets passed through. I have only had a few through the years stay inside and most of those were 300 yard or longer shots.
