Ahhh, these heroes don’t need any premiums for big game or bears. Just kill ‘em with bare hands and a Ka-Bar. Happy Trails

That is a load of crap. Any shot taken with a premium bullet that kills well can be matched by well chosen cup and core bullet. Same goes for any shot that wounds and any shot that simply miss's!
No. Majority of elk I’ve killed have been angling shots. A bullet that penetrates and does it consistently isn’t just a choice. Both elk I killed this year were shoulder shots into the bigger shoulder joint/ leg bone. A standard cup & core has low odds of reaching the boiler room. Sometimes no matter how good we think we are the bullet doesn’t always hit where it should. Whether it hits bone or has to travel a ways to reach the vitals a premium is essential. From my own hunting, to guiding, or with family and friends, I have spent enough time chasing elk hit in the right place with the wrong bullet. Do the the elk and yourself a favor and use a premium........

I've killed a bunch of elk with Speer Hotcores out of a 270. It knocked them down nicely. +1

23 years with a 30-30 170gr corel-lokt. 40 years with a .54 round ball.
Are those premium bullets? Both worked fine but I got close and only took double lung shots. I never felt handicapped.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

Most popular cartridge in the last Yellowstone great Elk drive ---- 32-20.
Of course then they got close and knew how to shoot.

I read the first few pages and the last few pages but didn’t see an argument against using premium bullets.
Why not? Most people spend more on soda or beer than the difference in “premium bullets”
Though truthfully I have failed to recover two elk after shooting them with premium bullets. I attribute both to dumbassery over bullet selection.

The frontiersmen in the 1800’s had no issues harvesting elk with low velocity muzzleloaders and soft lead bullets...
