Not Dre, but thinking dropping one into an elk 3-4 feet behind the shoulder might be a 'skosh' messy. (... which isn't to say that the others wouldn't be essentially the same.)

I'm neither an elk hunter, nor have I used the Accubond much. And I can think of no single bullet which is better suited than all others at all distances since all of them compromise something. But going 'retro' with a Partition seems about as broad in scope - and still the pinnacle of 'all-around' as one can get (and seems to be performance that Barnes' 'X' bullets have circuitously evolved toward). And the Accubond is reputed to be generally a Partition equivalent with a more modern ballistic touch. I can't imagine why not.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
