Many years ago I worked on a buddies ranch putting up hay and other stuff. He was short on cash and paid me off with a bunch of bronze tips in .270. I loaded them up and shot the snot out of a bunch of Mule Deer as well as coyotes. They worked just fine. I can't recall if I popped any elk with them or not. Could have but I just don't recall off the top of my head. I do recall that the bronze points were accurate and dropped bucks as well as anything else.
