At one time, I was one of those guys that tried hard to hunt elk in multiple States every season. Elk hunting was my passion, and I did managed to hunt them in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Colorado. Now, it something I still do, but just in the pure “easy -going” enjoyment mode. In any event, here is my list of cartridges that I have used to kill elk over the years:
.308
.30-06
.300 Win mag
.338 Win mag
.35 Whelen
.358 Norma mag.
Before I knew better, I killed elk with Power Points and Core-Lokts, but I was enlighten by some forgotten expert in the early 80s and switched to Partitions. I did try a Barnes bullet once and it worked, but I went right back to Partitions after this one excursion. However, about five years ago, I switched my elk hunting bullets over to AccuBonds, and I believe they work as well as Partitions and fly a little better out of my rifles. CP.
