Yes, BTs are very, very accurate, as are Accubonds, but unlike many here (and you) I just can't afford to have a bad hunt, and when it comes to reliability, I'm just not comfortable with a BT out of a 300 weatherby at close range. The bullet on the right is a 180gr Hornady Interlock recovered from an impala (operative words being IMPALA and RECOVERED) shot at 80 yards on the point of the shoulder and recovered in the off ham. Weigh77grains. The little impala dropped like a sack, but had that been an eland, I'm not so sure. (the bullet in question is on the far right, the others are 300gr 375 H&Hs recovered from Zebra, Wildebeest and Eland at ranges from 65 yards to over 180, and the difference is obvious. So HOW MANY elk have you killed?

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
