I've shot elk with Core Lokts, Partitions, Interlocks and SST's. The only one I would not use again is the SST. It basically blew up. Hit the bull behind the shoulder and went straight up and hit the bull in the spine at about 150 yards. Killed him but not what I expect on a broadside shot. My favorite elk bullet is the Interlock. These were all 180gr (except 1-165gr Interlock) and fired from a 30-06. Ranges from 50 to 350 yards. 7 or 8 bull sample. Nearly all were shot broadside, behind the shoulder (don't shoot shoulders on purpose) and most walked off like nothing ever happened, then drop over dead within 50 yards.
