Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Elk bullet for 25-06

I have over 40 years of elk hunts behind me as a hunter and as a guide.

I would say without hesitation, use a 120 grain Nosler Partition, a 115 Grain Barnes or a bonded bullet of 110 grains or more.

Skip all the rest. Not that all others are bad, but none of them are as good as the bullets above for what you will be doing.

ESPECIALLY skip anything made by Burger.
They have a VERY VERY high failure rate even on deer and antelope.
