Terry congrats on your bull as well.

I used the AB's to harvest a bull elk and the moose this fall. In the Elk the shot was approx 130-150yards, double lung, he showed signs of being hit hard and wobbled within a few yards till toppling. Bullet trashed both lungs, entrance was bullet diameter and exited far side behind the shoulder leaving approx 1 1/2 - 2" hole. Bull moose 100 yards first shot perfect broadside, double lung and second shot heart shot. Bull as moose often do showed little sign of after first hit but I knew it was true and decide to give him one more the heart shot humped him hard and he nose dived quick. He managed to go about 30 yards total from first shot. Vitals were soup, only a few piece of lung were visible and both bullets performed as with the elk exiting with 1 1/2 - 2" holes. Since I never had to track either animal I never paid attention to how much or how good of blood trail was produced though. Did you notice this factor in your case?? How ever being the relatively short distance and high velocity I was both suprised and extremely pleased with the penetration of the AB. I would say it worked as advertised in both retention and expansion on my hunts. In terms of accuracy it was better than my NP load of previous and main reason I just had to give it a go this year. I feel I found an excellent Elk/Moose bullet for my rifle. Very tough and accurate bullet is my opinion. I will say these results have me a bit leary in using it on thin skinned animals such as deer and as such I plan to switch to back to NBT's for these hunts.
