Isn't it a matter of degrees, or perhaps good, better, best, or some such thing. Given total freedom, would you choose to use the sst on Elk over a partition, or the Barnes MZ you suggested? Myself, i have killed 5 whitetail with 300g sst. That was enough for me. It was obvious, doing the post mortem, that there are better bullets available. Since switching bullets, i have killed deer with 300g xtp, 300g Nosler, and 270g Gold Dot. The all seemed to work better than the sst...............................using the sst resulted in 5 hit deer; 5 dead deer.

You know them real pretty bulls you see them boys kill on TV, and you see pictures of here and there. What you do if you want to be able to chew the round steaks, is you grind them into burger, and enjoy the flavor. Now, a spike bull or most cows will provide round steaks you can chew. Our son has advised several of his friends that happen to kill a nice bull, to only have steaks made out of the back strap, and have the rest of the animal ground into hamburger. The ones that heed his advice, thank him; the ones that don't, always say they wished they would have listened.
