The majority of the elk and large axis I've taken have been taken with C-n-C bullets. My largest bodied whitetail (200+ live weight) was taken with a C-n-C 120 grain 257 caliber at 480 yards (+/-) and traveled in the shoulder closest to me and exited the off-side ham. I had some problems with .257 caliber factory stuff back in the early 80's and pretty much stick with the C-n-C bullets until I tried the Accubonds. I'm using those now in the 25-06's, 243, 308 and the two 6.5's. Took my elk last year with the 142 gr LRAB with complete pass through of both shoulder blades. I still use C-n-C bullets in 223, 7mm, 358 and .357 as well as one 30.
Put a decent bullet in the right place and let it do it's job.
