Default RE: elk bullet in 06

Barnes,it's called the Barnes Tripple shock X.

Well good for you Stubble,I would still not recomend it.I know that Nosler has gone through great strides to improve the BLT over the years and winchester loads it in their line for CXP 3 game.I would still not trust it,there are so many more better bullets out their that are desinged for penetration and hold up well.
I used a 200 gr nosler BLT on spike bull 2 yrs ago,and allI found on the far shoulder was the copper cup of the bullet.I also know that 200 gr is on the lower end of the spectrem of .338 bullets.I would not trust this bullet to penetrate as deep as I would a Nosler part.,Barmes-x or a Speer grand slam or Bear claw.
But each to your own,good thread.
