Bob, I'm not all that interested in quotes from reference books but I am interested in the answer to this question. Earlier, 30338 mentioned that he was thinking about using a No Excuses bullet and you told him he should use a bullet with a bigger meplat.

I'm just asking what your opinion is based on. Because I've shot plenty of elk with pointed bullets and none have gotten away. So I'm not buying that a big meplat makes a difference.
