So what? How is that relevant to this discussion?
Because you asked how many I've shot and not recovered. My answer was 'none'.
There is simply no reason to use a bullet proven by the manufacturer to be wrong for the job when there are so many proven ones out there. It's a trick shot just to see if you can do it. The elk is the one that suffers if it doesn't work.
"After shooting
several elk with 180 gr AB's in a 300 WSM, that's exactly the kind of performance I expect from them. I won't use them again."
Rock Chuck, you posted this some time ago. You used a manufacturer recommended bullet, you got what you consider poor performance, and you used it at least two more times. How can you criticize others for using a bullet that works for them but you continued to use a bullet that didn't work for you?
