Not the prettiest picture ever, but I shot this cow with a handloaded 150gn Accubond, about a 270yd shot across a canyon with the .284 Winchester I built in my office. Great hunt these last few days.

I had my old worn out Savage in 7mm changed to 28 Nosler. Remachined the whole rifle. Got down to 3/8 MOA using factory 150 gr etip at 3300 fps. Love this rifle now.

I had Nosler bullets loaded in some ammunition I had in my truck when I shot this deer with a cast bullet in my Sharps…

This one is from a few years back but I just found this thread.
This cow was taken with a .308 shooting handloaded 180grn Nosler Partitions.
A small herd of cows surprised us in the woods by crossing in front of us at a trot about 40 yards ahead. I took a snap shot on this big cow that stopped to look at us. The bullet took out one of her shoulders. When I quartered her, I found the remains of the bullet (shown in the 2nd picture) lodged against the hide on the backside. It looks to me like the Partition behaved exactly as designed. It went all the way through the shoulder and nearly through the other side, retaining almost 137 grains of its original 180 grain mass. The front portion of lead nearly disintegrated, leaving a small "bubble" of lead that you can see perched on top of the base that remained undisturbed.

Not the hugest mulie ever, but a good meat-buck (our freezers are empty). About 230yds, quartering away with a .284 Win. 150gn Nosler Accubond, always seems to do the trick.

Here's a cow elk I shot about a week and a half ago. This one was all about the stalk. I was hunting with a friend, Chris, and his 13yo son, David. David shot a cow and while we were preparing to process that one, we noticed a herd move out into a wide park up higher. Chris insisted I go after them, so I ate a Cliff Bar, went way down one drainage and up another in order to stay out of sight while positioning myself down wind. I ultimately crept through a dense, tangled mountain jungle with the wind right in my face and got a shot on this cow at just about 100yds. I was using my .284 Winchester which I've shot practically everything with in the last 3 years - 150gn Nosler Accubond through both lungs. The park exploded with elk when I took the shot and I immediately lost track of her in the herd. However, before they ran too far, I saw her peel off, stumble, and fall over.
