A-Frames, Trophy Bonded (any version - TA, ELD, Tipped, or regular) or Northforks are tops. Barnes X family, Weldcores or Partitions if you can't get those. Choose a bullet with a SD of 0.3 if possible, at least 0.27 if you can't get the heavies. If it's a monmetal you can go lighter.


Guaranteed 75+ years old and has never shot an elk with a Berger bullet let alone that one...

Fotis - next year I expect to draw an elk tag that'll likely be my best elk tag I'll ever draw. Its a unit known for 400+" bulls. I'll be hunting with a .284" 168 VLD...

We’ve killed a bunch with the 168s out of a 7rum and all failed the stress test as well as a bunch of bucks. I’ve got several buddies that shoot 300s and the 210 and they pound them. I just got started with the 180s three shots for two buck and a cow. You won’t be disappointed with the 210s.
