That is my latest question after reading the recent favorite elk bullet thread.  After shooting a 100 and 200 pound animal this year with a popular bullet that is relatively new to the market, I was pleased to see both drop in their tracks. I wasn't pleased to find lead fragments throughout the front shoulder and top of the straps while processing in areas a good distance away from the bullet channels. There is no shortage of studies supporting this as a reasonable concern for someone feeding their (especially young) family with the meat and it makes a compelling case for trying another bullet that holds together better or even going lead-free. Eating archery meat became even more satisfying after this last year. I'm curious what you say, CWT?
