In my .06 I use the Federal Premium 165 grn BT Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. I have shot 3 elk with this bullet. All three dropped right where they stood. I am VERY impressed by this bullet!. Only one of these shots was a spine hit. The other two were heart and lung hits. BTW I used to guide in SE Montana, where in MT are you heading?
Whoever said there is no such thing as a stupid question has never worked in Law Enforcement.
