Took a 6x6 with one shot at 110 yards and a Hornady factory 160FTX. Was quartering away uphill and dropped where he stood. See "LeverEvolution" here in this forum for pics.

I'd go with regular lead and be darn careful on shot placement.
Partitions are great with speed, but without it I'm not sure they wouldn't slow the back end of the bullet up and not penetrate. Given the slow speeds here TSX are just a waste of money too.
If your lower than 2600 fps you don't need fancy bullets Go heavy and keep shots conservative and they'll drop. Take a risky shot with a 30-30 or any round for that matter and your pushing your luck at the expense of the critter.

A 170 Gr bullet will do the job. All this premium bullet talk is all BS with this caliber and MV.

What? Don't you guys read the internet? You can't kill elk with a 30-30! Of course back before any of the old, and mostly now dead and gone, cowboys and woodsmen that I knew as a kid had a chance to play with a computer and partake of internet wisdom, they were too ignorant to know you can't kill elk with a 30-30 so they just did it anyway. I remember several of them saying they didn't care for the '06 because it kicked too hard and those old winchester and savage lever guns were just so much lighter and handier. Use this round on elk at your own risk! (just be sure you bring a sharp knife)
