I've also killed several bull elk with the Hornady 190-grain Interlocked SPBT in both the .30-06 and the .300 WinMag and have experienced nothing but one-shot DRT kills.

This is seemingly the Golden Age of bullets and rifle barrels. We are fortunate indeed.

Steve,
I did pick up a box of 165g spbt's (interlocks) and am adding them to the mix to do some fun load work-ups this winter.
Your safari sounds like you had a great time! That Eland was a real monster..wow.
Thanks for all your input.
