Chuck, I wonder if it's an accuracy issue. Generaly speaking, the BT is a very accurate bullet, easy to fine tune loads. If shooting anything under .338, I'd take a serious look at the Accubonds. For Elk, Moose, Bear, the partition has a proven track record, though I personaly like the partition golds for elk. The .338 BT's are supposed to be designed for big game (elk, moose),but in my case my .338 ultra shoots the PG's so well, I'll stick with em.
