They're expensive, but how many do we actually shoot at critters. Practice with something less expensive.


Not sure which CEBs you’ve found don’t do well in brush.

I’m sold on the CEB BBW#13 570 grain 0.510” Solids, having used them on 2 elephants so far. On the 1st of these. 2 of the insurance shots went through 2 different mopane trees, about 2” in diameter, before hitting the downed bull in the chest. Neither tumbled. The BBWs penetrate in a straight line through obstacles like thick hide. bone and feet of muscle, better than any bullet I’ve used. The 400 grain Barnes 0.423” Solid is as accurate and probably penetrates as well as the CEB but I haven’t had as much experience with it.
