My latest “elk killin” rifle has killed nothing so far, at least while I’ve had it, which hasn’t been very long.
It’s an FN 338-06 that really likes the 210 gr NPT over Varget pushing 2,800 fps. Haven’t clocked it yet, just a book estimate. Sub inch. Don’t think it would bounce off an elk. Hits hard without dislodging one’s dental work. Easy packing, easy shooting rifle. Also likes 200’s over H-380. Need to try the 210’s with that one.

I keep telling you that you are really going to like that rifle/cartridge, the 210 NP will certainly work on elk. It also does quite a job on deer too.
Seafire and Gunner500 recommend H-380 for that round. It and Varget seem to work really well.
160 TTSX over Varget is very accurate, running at 3K fps.
