Am I overthinking bullet construction?
If you’re like me, of course you are.
When I started elk hunting I was certain I needed “premium” bullets pushed from big cases. Then, the more elk I shot, and the more I saw shot by others, my thinking began to change. I eventually came back to .473” case heads powered with sub 60 gr. powder charges. The next evolution was I started going back to the cup and core bullets I’d never had a problem with on deer sized game - bullets like the Nosler Ballistic Tip, Hornady Interlock, Speer Hotcore, and Sierra Gameking.
Sure, the Partition or Accubond are usually my first stop with a new rifle, but I know enough to know they’re really not needed with 308/30-06 sized cases.
