I've never been elk hunting but what I hear on here is that a 150 grain Nosler Partition or Barnes TSX or TTSX at about 2800+ FPS is the ticket. For deer I use a 130 grain Sierra Game King over about 57 grans of IMR 4831 or 59.5 grains H-4831. I also like a Ballistic Tip 130 grain. I also have always liked the CT 130 grain Silver Ballistic Tip. But the Sierra is my favorite.


What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!
