I load 150gr Ballistic Silvertips for a hunting partner.
He has used them on antelope, deer and elk with no problems.
They would not be my first choice, but I cannot argue with the results I have seen first hand while out hunting.
Same situation...I have a friend who runs that 150gr Ballistic Silvertip out of his 300 Win. Mag. mostly because his rifle loves that bullet, but it has dropped some good animals for him including one of the biggest bodied mule deer I've ever seen (or had the displeasure of dragging of a mountain). This guy is very experienced and even though he has not carried that combo for elk, he says he would have no issues doing so.
