Checkmate.

Fun for the Thursday doldrums.....




At the risk of getting scolded - how do the 162 Amax's hold up to elk/moose? I've shot them before and they are accurate but I've always been a bit skeptical when elk/moose are involved. They are not an interlock design bullet.

The 160 NAB drops 2.1" more and drifts 2.6" more at 500 yards but is bonded. I'd think it would be a better choice when elk are involved, especially if one shows up at 50 yards. As an example, the bull I shot 2 years ago was shot quartering to me at 50 yards. I ran a 180 Partition into the near shoulder - DRT.

Plus I can't hold within 2-2.5" at 500 yards so the extra advantage over a NAB is lost on me.

Thoughts?
