Hey Everyone,
This is a great forum That I have come to trust and value the opinions of it's members.
I purchased a Savage 99 in 300 Savage back in December. I've pretty much settled on the Remington Core lokt's 150 gr bullet until I am in a position to load my own. I have around 200 rounds through this gun and have been averaging 1-3" groups at 100-200 yards.
Now, by the grace of God,, I drew a Bull Elk tag, this is the moment that ran through my head when I first picked up this rifle. From hours of searching on the Internet in regards to my caliber it usually goes use 150's for deer and 180's for anything bigger.
So my question, will 150's get it done on a bull elk at 200 yards and under? I want to do right by the animal first but when viewing a side by side comparison I'm only gaining the 30grns of weight with the 180's?
Any first hand experience with this caliber against this animal?
