Just post what your load was behind that Barnes before touting it as a God send and exactly how many elk you have personally killed with it.
I don't know what elk hunting experts or such you talked to, but I have 40 + years under my belt hunting elk, with 40+ kills,about 25% of them with a front stuffer, and you don't need a Barnes super duper bullet. I was killing elk with plain old 370 gr maxiballs before most even decided to hunt elk with a ML. The same as quite a few on this forum have done.
Put any plain pure lead bullet where it is suppose to go and the elk fall over.
