[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3693166, member: 5412"] 100% agree. For light skinned game the 165 HPBT is also my favorite. It turns the innards into jelly with the animal barely taking a step after the hit in the 30-06. I won't use it though on elk opting for the Barnes solid copper 165 TTSX. Flies true at long range and puts the elk down. They have big thick bones so one needs something that will give max penetration if hitting that bone. I recovered one bullet at over 400 yards that was fully mushroomed and weighed in the high 150 grain after losing the plastic tip and some small fragments evidently. No lead jacketed bullet will perform that well and retain weight. [/QUOTE]
