Middle 300-ish bullet weight range, slowed down, does wonders on elk. Just like with a centerfire, you don't need to be cranking up near the redline to kill an elk. My bull last year fell just fine to 95gr BH209 and a Hornady GP 385. Load shoots great in the TC Encore. In the Triumph its a bit heavy on recoil, same with the new Federal Trophy 350.

The 350 grain Hornady bullets shot to the same POI as the Powerbelts in my rifle, but I stuck with the latter. I'll have to dig the bullet out and post a picture of it.
I had a great time in camp with smokepole, but couldn't keep him out of my Natural Light...

I just figured out what it was that made me fart so much. I was almost farting as much as you were, had to be the Natural Light.

The Trophy Copper 270gr worked pretty well in the Triumph, but I still have to play with charges more.
