I wouldn't trust those tipped bullets yet, they can show pictures of mushrooms all they want but all it takes is a bad batch of bonding and there goes your hunt. Listen to SISK, he's right..... -Everyone has a dream hunt, mine just happens to be for a Moose-

There is always a trade - off, isn't there? Either bullet will kill an elk equally well if your shot placement is good. You might have to shoot 1000 elk to ever see a definitive difference...................if indeed there IS one.

I am just wondering about your experience using the IB's on elk, what have you experienced?

Both fired from my Ruger M77 30-06. Nosler 180gn AccuBond 55gns AR2209 (H4350) => 2670ft/s Group = 0.39" at 100m Penetration in wet newsprint = 23" Expanded diameter = 0.63" Retained weight = 130.7gns (72.6%) Nosler 180gn Partition 60gns AR2213SC (H4831SC) = 2680ft/s Group = 2.54" at 100m Penetration in wet newsprint = 22.5" Expanded diameter = 0.58" Retained weight = 131.6gns (73.1%) To see the groups please look at my post in the "AccuBonds Part II - The Test".
