I have heard that the 200 SBT is pretty tough and sometimes is slow to open up on deer, for example. That just means, to me, it should be good on elk or big hogs, etc.

Jim, I spoke with a technician at Sierra for a spell on the horn one afternoon and asked his advice on the 200 Gr. SBT for elk. Throughout the conversation, mostly listening on my part, I gathered I hit the jackpot on my inquiry. It would be tough to find a better bullet for taking elk sized critters. I doubt I will ever choose differently when and if I ever arrive at elk camp.

Thanks
