Default RE: bullet size for elk hunt
ORIGINAL: lemoyne

110 gr. FFFg Triple Seven
350 gr. Saber Tooth
1,727 f.p.s
2,313 f.p.e
A pass through on a 1100 pound buffalo dropped him on the spot hit just high enough over the heart to get both lungs.
If I was going to use a PB for anything other than varmits I would use a 444 gr flat nose or steel point R.N. I had some a couple years ago and of all the PB's theywere the best.
What does the flat nose do for you or is it the 444g that is doing the penetration and not breaking up? Can you do shoulder shots with the 444g PB? Chap Gleason
