I may take my old 99 in 358 as a spare rifle on this years elk hunt. I have a few boxes of factory 200 horn sp and rnsp ammo. It shoots both fine. Anyone have any experience with either of those on elk? I may get a box of 200gr tsx or 225 sierras and try those. Any opinions or experience with any of the above would be appropriated. Thx.

The 200gr bullets are fairly stout, and should be okay at 358 speeds, but they won't be ideal for "raking" shots. Shooting for the ribs or the "opposite" shoulder" they should be fine. I like the 225 Sierras and the 220 Speers at modest velocities, such as those produced in the 358. Never tried the 200 TSX, but the guys who use them like them well.
I save the 200gr lead-tipped bullets for 357 Herrett.
