Default RE: 25-06 elk load.............

HP is hollow point and I think it's more cosmetic than aiding expansion[no blowup] Hornady tested this bullet on elk before allowing them on the market and they made e'm dead. Like I mentioned the bullet took out a rib going in and another leaving so it obviously didn't explode.In my opinion it duplicates a 130 .270 or darn close.He planted a WT doe this Am on video with it as well. Last spring a black bear and it went through lengthwise chest to hoop no bullet found. I like Jack O'Conner's quotes reguarding bullet debates.At what point of the animal's death did the bullet fail?Or the mythical Indian guide that said, any gun good gun if you shoot straight! Harold
