Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 165 grain Nosler Partition, .30 cal., on Elk, Your thoughts?

Have shot elk with 150's, 165's, 180's, and 200's in .30 cal..the 165 is a favorite wt. for me..and the Nosler Part. is the fav. bullet..Like Bob said, how soon elk drop can depend on where it is hit..the nice thing with a part. is one can drive it though bone to hit the vitals..as far as penetration, I think the 200 has that hands down..Hagel said the only bullet that traveled farther for him though an animal was the 175 grain Part. from his 7mm mag.
