Dzapper, You've got a great load and cartridge there. I use the same in mine. But, I only trust the Ballistic Tips for Antelope. They are small critters, and don't require the penetration that a deer would. That being said, I have a friend who has taken a dozen Elk with his 25-06 using 120 grn. Partitions, and couldn't be happier with the results. It's a hell of a game getter, if you use the right bullets. Good hunting to you sir!
