Daughter is a fan of the 155 Scenar. I consider it a stunt shooters bullet. I only shoot premiums, like my favorite 6.5 140 Berger VLD.

Well yeah, but two elk over 400 yds out of 46 elk ain't bad. Some days a guy's stealth ain't as strong as other days...........

Another reason I still generally shoot Partitions is when I can have them delivered to my door at half the street price, it makes practicing all summer long more affordable, especially with a college age son who I also happily support his hunting habit............

Having said that, my new 308 is going to be started out with 150g TTSX's for it's elk load. I shall see how this combo works.

That Afognak bull died via .308" 200 grain old style Speer grand slam. My absolutely favorite bullet of all time. Pretty much an A frame from what I understand. My stash is getting thin thoughfrown.

Good 'ol .30 Super.

I want to cry.....

Screw you guys monos work fine. I’ve killed a few trees in the uintas with grand slams. Flying ash trays, BC of a Buick. 😉

Really though, doesn’t matter just hit the damn things in the kill spot and they die.

I like shooting my stash of 30 supers in my 300 weatherby, improves the hell out of them. Grin

Awkward situations are all I am good at making.

Especially if brewskis are involved.

Fück partitions!

Terminal ballistic research on the internet has a kiwi that must shoot a bazillion ungulates a week weighing over 300 kilograms.

He goes on and on about this subject.

There was a pretty cool thread on the campfire years ago about point blank shots into a bovine leg bone knuckle joint.

The author used a 30/06

Seemed the 200 grain Speer was very disappointing, but the 130 grain Barnes did very well considering.

I think the advice here has been good, bottom line:

Monolithics need velocity to preform. I think 1800 fps?

Cup and cores need sectional density....( mass) for penetration about .250?

Premium bonded ,A frame types need a little of both.

Frangebile bullets may begin to fall short due to the size of elk compared to smaller animals.

My favorite way to hunt elk in in fresh snow, tracking them. I can spend a lot of time disengaged from regular life trying to piece together what them buggers have been up to. So I usually use a Lever action. I got a small cow at 30 yards with a 336 marlin ER 356 cal 220 grain Speer hot cor this year.....damn near could eat to the hole. I think ( as in I know) using a .308, 300 sav, or a 30/06 with lighter bullets would have caused much more tissue damage.


But it's all good 😊........no fight here!

Nothing like 100 answers from a group of people that only 10% have actually killed one elk, let alone a dozen or more.
