Many times though the most accurate bullet is really not the one best suited for the game being chased.Change that to selecting the most accurate bullet within the design paramters to match the game being chased and I'd agree Nice and polite response.........beat me to it.....LOL. Desiring to use only the most accurate bullet/load for hunting is akin to purchasing the most comfortable hiking boot made that fits what you think you want, but in 3 sizes too big. It might do the job, it might not, but there is likely a far more appropriate fit from which to choose. You're right, the most accurate bullet/load combo that shoots in my rifle...which falls into the design parameters for the game being hunted. I just assumed that was a given.

I don't know about you guys but the "right" bullet is the only way I go. It's got to shoot accurately and put game down with minimal blood shot and ruined meat. If it keeps puting meat in the freezer, I'll keep using it....Pretty simple.. 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

the right bullet is the one you made yourself. Like catching a big rainbow or brown on your own fly, shooting an elk with your own bullet is the way to go. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jessie/PPB/Bullets/Africa%20Bullets%20small%20B.jpg) Yep, that is sure hard to beat. ![[Linked Image]](http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv39/VonGruff/Cast%20bullets/006.jpg) Hard to argue with sucess ![[Linked Image]](http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv39/VonGruff/Goats-Castsoftnose006.jpg)

Save an elk, shoot a cow.
