I’m not about to regale this group with counts if dead elk, etc. However, several of my serious hunting buddies of 15+ years used factory Hornady Interlocks and various Ballistic Tips and Core Lokts. I even used Speer Nitrex Grand Slams back in the day. Every single one of them are now shooting Barnes TTSX or LRX for mule deer and elk. The only bullets I’ve used in the past 30 years are TBBC and Barnes TSX and TTSX. Shoot the cheapos if you must. Several guys I know still use Norma Oryx and Nosler accubonds with success. If you feel like an atlatl is effective enough, go for it. Or maybe some olde Silvertips......
Happy Trails
