Well you certainly have me beat on elk.

I have only taken 15 or 16 I believe, and not too many with the same type of bullet. My first was taken many years ago with a .308 calibre 180 grain Imperial Sabre Tip from Dominion Industries...back when Canada still had a company manufacturing ammunition for civilian hunters and shooters. Interestingly, it was the first plastic tipped bullet on the market in North America, unlike today where they are common place.

Over the years I also used Partitions, A-frames, Sierra Gameking (only once), Grand Slams, Barnes X, Barnes TSX and Barnes TTSX, North Fork and Accubonds on elk. Most recent was an 165 grain Accubond on a big cow. Was shooting a Pre-64 in .30-06 at about 250 yards. Complete pass through on a broadside double lung shot. She did a slow little trot in a circle and fell over. Hardly a strain test on the Accubond.

I have only been to Africa 3 times and, as with most hunters, I took two rifles. One for dangerous game and one for PG. So on each trip I was just using one brand of bullet in my PG rifle, which with only three safaris under my belt, didn't lead to much in the way of bullet performance comparison. Swift A-frames in a .338 WM on one, Barnes TSX out of a .308 Norma Magnum on another, and 260 grain Accubonds out of a .375 H&H. They all did the job nicely and there really was not one of the three that stood out as being better than the others.

We really are blessed with all of the exceptional bullets we have to choose from these days. Fifty years ago it was not the case and there were many that suffered from the problem of jacket separation. Back then Partitions were the fair haired child.
