Do any of you use hollow point conicals on Elk? How do you think the 425gr HP HB Hornady Great Plains Conical would do on elk? I don't think I wan't a hollow point for elk. What do you guys think?
A couple of my friends, whose opinion I respect, swear by .50 cal Hornady 385 hollowpoints and 90 grain 3f BP. Enough so . . .that I am considering the 385'smyself. They take broadside double lung only and say they get pass throughs.
With deer, I have never recovered a .50 cal 385 gr. hollowpoint. All were pass throughs, all double lung. If you are going to limit yourself to double lung, the hollowpointcould be the best choice in that if it does pass through, you'd get a bigger wound channel. This is whymy friends like 'em.
Good luck.
