So far I've dropped three elk with a .30-06. Two were with a 165g North Fork SS, one with a 150g Nosler AB. All three dropped at the shot.
As a matter of preference, my vote goes for the heavier 165g bullet.
Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!
No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
