Having never killed an elk, I don't want to talk out of my posterior end, but I have been around elk before. Looking at the 210gr TTSX, I can't imagine it not being enough for any elk-sized animal. This is one pictured to the right of a 223AI loaded round.

I load them for my father's old M77 338WM and it is not difficult to hit 2,900fps with 65gr of RL-15. It hits hard and doesn't beat the shooter to death either. You are basically looking at uppper-end 30/06 165gr ballistics, just packing 45gr more copper. I'd shoot an elk up the butt with it if need be....... grin

Now with even more aplomb
