D. None of the above.
165 or 168 gr TTSX at 2700+ fps for an under 300 yard shot.
Bump up to 3,000 fps if you shoot farther.

Do you have first-hand experience with that load on elk?
Yes, indeed. The TTSX at 2,700 fps for under 300 yards would be about like my .300 Weatherby at 400+. 150 to 168 gr TTSX put them down with one hit. Last 2 hunts = 2 bulls with one hit in the boiler room. I’ve also taken several big Mule deer with 165 TSX out of a .30-06.
