[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1959313, member: 10178"] For elk I would go with the Accubond. Ballistic Tips do their best with lighter animals like deer. Ballistic tips need to have less than 3000 fps impact velocity or they really come apart. In my experience impact velocity on deer 2800 fps and under is perfect for the Ballistic Tips. Accubond is a tough bullet that will handle much higher velocity and still hold together and penetrate. I run the 130 gr Accubond in my 264 Win mag at 3350 fps and it will hold together and penetrate through both shoulders of a good size white tail as close as 25 yards. At 111 yards it penetrated on a buck that was almost facing me with left shoulder angle at me through the scapula all the way through to smash the right ball socket in the ham. Bullet weight was 87 grs and text book mushroom. [/QUOTE]
