Default RE: Hollow Point on Elk

ORIGINAL: Sharp Shooter

The 460gr Buffalo Bullet is round nose. I decided to just go with a projectile that has no tip or base. The good old roundball. If I get an elk tag next year I might get a 58cal GM rifle barrel for elk hunting every year.
The BB 460s shoots quite well in my .54........never been a fan of hollow points on big game. I always tough if the bullet was recovered, you need more powder or a different bullet. [or get closer]

Big round balls, under 75yds will do some serious damage also. I like bullets and balls to be 400 grain +.......and of course, 550 grains is better!
