I’ve used the 160 grn. trophy bonded in my 280 rem for elk for the last 4 yrs. with great results. Very good accuracy and terminal performance with kills being made out to 400 yds. My pet load is RL 22 with an avg. vel of 2850fps. I’ve recovered 2 bullets from 5 kills with textbook mushroom and upwards of 85-90% wt retention. Great penetration and most dropped in there tracks....it’s my go to bullet for elk in that rifle! I’ve also shot the 140 trophy bonded out of the same rifle and point of impact was very close to being the same as the 160. A very good bullet, use with confidence even if heavy bone is hit.
