+1 on the 140 NP- it will do the job better than most other game bullets,particularly at the ranges most elk are shot at. Elk are big and they need to be shot well with a bullet tough enough to penetrate through shoulders. Remember, any 6.5 is on the lighter side of which consistently works well, so bullet construction becomes a little bigger concern. Don't get me wrong, a good 6.5 will flatten any bull ever born. I like them and use them a lot, but in my experience the 130-140 gr Accubonds are not the best choice for big bulls if heavy bone is hit. They are fantastic on the preferred broadside double-linger, but in the real world that shot presentation doesn't always work out. Best of luck on your hunt!
