[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2444890, member: 51405"] I agree with this…that is part of what I was referring to with the ‘used as intended’ part of a bullet. Like I said, I was comfortable with that shot and placement based on discussions with folks who have hunted quite a bit with that bullet, and now based on my own experience. But I wouldn’t have the same POA with a lighter bullet out of the same gun. My son (12) and I have shot maybe a dozen deer and a hog or two with his 6.5cr and have the same POA on deer with 140VLD’s. Those shot in the same place as the elk was shot all dropped like they were hit in the head with a hammer, save one. I used it in Kansas on a good buck, probably weighed 225. He went down like the elk did, limping and crashing 15 yards away. But I wouldn’t have the same POA on an animal any bigger than a deer with that gun. I’m not saying I’m right, just that my experience with accubonds, ballistic tips, and Bergers I have found what works the best for me. [/QUOTE]
