200 gr 30-06 Elk Hammers

[Cossack]

You can have your terminal performance and flatter trajectory if you go with a 150 or 165 Barnes TSX. They are solid copper and will give you at least 95% retained weight. And they penetrate like nothing I've shot before. I've had 19 one-shot kills with Barnes X and more recently their TSX on large northern deer with various smaller calibers but recovered only one bullet. That one, a 130 gr shot from a 7/08, went the LENGTH of a sizable buck.
