Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Best .308 round for Elk at 300+ yards??

Buff Hunter,

There are a pile of bullets that work well at 308 velocity. Since you want something like the Sierra Matchking, I'd try the Sierra 165 BTHP Gameking. The Sierra hollow point hunting boattails are actually built tougher than their boat tail soft points according to the folks at Sierra. I know a lot of folks use this bullet at close range here without problems so it should work fine on elk in open country.
