I probably have missed a few here, but this is most of them.
Other bullets and shells I have seen kill elk in the hands of friends and clients are probably at least 6-7 times as large as the list above.
Again off the top of my head we have:
243 with 100 grain factory loads and 100 grain Nosler partitions.
257 Roberts, 25-06 and 257 Weatherby mag. 117 Factory loads, 115 Barnes, 120 grain Nosler Partitions. 120 grain Sierra
6.5 Grendel. 6.5X55 Swede. 6.5 Creedmoor. 6.5-06 264 Win Mag. 125 grain Nosler Partitions. 140 grain Nosler Partitions. 140 grain Hornady flat base, 130 grain Berger. 140 grain Berger, 156 grain Norma, 160 grain Hornady RN.
270 Weatherby Factory 130 grain load. 150 grain Nosler partitions
Many 270 bullets of 130 140 and 150 grains fired from 270 Winchesters. Must be at least 20 that could be added here.
7-08. 280 Rem. 7MM Mag. 7MM STW I don't know if I can count the bullets I have seen used from these shells. The ones that seem to be the best have been the Nosler Partitions and the Barnes X, but I have seen elk killed with so many from the 129 grain Hornady to the 180 grain Barnes Originals, and probably 20 other weights and brands with results from "great" to "very poor".
30-30 170 grain factory.
30-40 Krag with 190 grain Gas Checked LBT Cast Bullets.
7.5 Swiss with Norma factory loads
LOTS of 30-06s and about every 30 cal magnum I ever read about, and probably about 6 wildcats that are not listed even in "Cartridges of the World". The 30 cal bullets I have seen used are as numerous as the 7MM. Maybe even more.
