spaniel

To be honest with you i would not shoot the schockwave - i really do not trust it... and of course that is my opinion. I have been hunting elk since i was 12 years old and realy have shot my share + some. I have shot them with a lot of different bullets - but none do the job as does a Nosler Partition... so, I shoot .458 Nosler Partition PP in an MMP Orange sabot - pushed with 110 grains T7-2f from the Omega and 120 grains from the Knight around 1860/1880 fps. You could punch that up a bit with T7-3f - probably closer to 1900 fps

This is the recovered bullet after shooting an elk at 176 yards...



Here is the animal



The results...



I know you are one to think about trajectory and ballistics - but sometimes they do not always tell the story - especially in how strong the bullet is..

There is an alternative though - that being the Barnes bullets that offer near the same bullet strength and have a better BC

Just my thoughts - that is what i wll be hunting with in Idaho this year again...
