Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 358 Bullet for Elk?

At a bit over 200 yards and at 0º or somewhat lower F:



l to r: unfired 35 cal 250 Hornady SP, 250 Hornady SP which barely entered chest cavity just aft of the forward end of the sternum, 300 45 cl XTP Mag finisher up closer, 35 cal 225 gr Barnes XFB pulled from high shoulder muscle.




250 Hot-Cor pulled from another moose which was shot at around 35 yards angled from back side of ribs on one side into shoulder muscles on the other side.



200 PSP Corelokt taken from caribou shot at 100-200 yards.

I save 250s for the Norma these days and use the lighter bullets in the Winchester with either TAC or IMR 4895.

All bullets fired from 358 Winchester.

I have both 225 Partitions and 200 TTSX loaded for my rifle, as well as a bunch of 220 Hot-Cors. My choices for use are in that order as well.
