HI 240NMC
The nails head has been hit as far as velocities being all over the place and expectations. I'd like to touch on a previous point bullet choice. The Barnes TTSX is considered a premium bullet and where a recommend bullet weight for an animal might be x with a Barnes you can go lighter.
Here is an option for loading a 30-06 (again mentioned about)
130gr TTSX in front of 55 gns of VARGET seated .050 off the lands.
I am getting 3100 fps and it is dead on accurate out of two rifles I load. You will have to find your sweet spot but I believe this gets you the velocity you are looking for with a bullet I've used on deer and would have no problem using it on Elk.

HaYen youve got me interested in trying out those 130's
[quote=28lx][quote=HaYen]
Thanks for tip on the 130s but I have a recently acquired Mannlicher-Schönauer in 270 that will take over the 130s for me. Been backing out of the black rifle match guns and aluminum chassis rifles and retooling with classic hunting rifles. Must be 50 years or older. Waiver given to the M77 RSI in 308.
No Picts cause I gave up on posting to this site as it’s a PITA but you all have seen the rifles before.
