For those that have shot elk with a 264 mag, what bullets do you like best? I am leaning towards a 140 grain partition, but am open to other ideas. Now, if I can find a way to lose about a pound and a half off the rifle it will feel a lot more nimble. It's a 700 Classic with a Leupold 30mm VX6 so it's pretty heavy right now. I have been thinking about buying a McMillan Edge for it, but then I might as well get that Tikka Superlite in 300wm I have been thinking about smile.

What is the longest range at which you would shoot? Choose accordingly.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
