He won’t allow a customer to hunt with a Barnes bullet


I know a ranch manager in NW Colorado. They have told their hunters, for the last couple of years, to NOT bring ammo with ELD-X bullets! Told me they had more lost animals with those bullets the 3 or 4 years before than the previous 10. Now they recommend Partitions, Accubonds or Barnes bullets! I guess it’s all about your experience!

Elk Country

I'll never use ELD-X's after what I saw in Newfoundland.

I was just talking to a friend past weekend. The guy that he guides for in NW Colorado banned 6.5 Creeds this past season. Said they're getting more lost animals since guys started showing up with them. Probably more about the bullets than the cartridge.
