Got an elk hunting planned for September. Got an old '06 that really likes 165 HPBTs. Would these work well for elk, or should I try to find a good 180gr load?
If 180's are recommended, I know Partitions are "the bullet", but would CnC bullets work just fine, or would I be wise to use a premium? (I know bullets are the cheapest part of the hunt, etc.)
south,
I'm not going to read all the blather as I see it has devolved very quickly.
The only thing I want to say is there are better choices than a hollow point bullet. It is not needed and may get you in trouble with a closer than expected shot.
If you want to use a cup and core, fine, the guys have killed many elk with Power Points and .270's in our camp.
Good luck.
