Steve, you said "fracking". Does this mean that you too are a Battlestar fan?

They shoot really well in my rifle. would they be adequately built to take an elk out to, say, 300 yd.? Yup ![[Linked Image]](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/Ranch137/tuffbull.jpg) Whenever I see this pic I think hmm they either transported the critter here for a kodak moment and or shot it off the 9th green on the redneck golf course...

Anyway, I probably didn't answer your question to your satisfaction, but it would take being in the bush for a while and seeing a thousand situations to explain it to you. On the contrary. Your answer was perfect. Thank you.

The 150-grain Hornady Interlocked is also an incredible elk-killing bullet......I've experienced BETTER KILLS with them than any other bullet ... .30-'06 or .308 Winchester, pick your poison.
The Hornady Interlocked 165s and 150s work very well on elk and I prefer them to the 180s and 190s.
Steve Interesting. I have 600 of these to test in my 300 WSM and really hope they'll shoot good in it. As Kenny Jarrett said, I really hope "they'll take me to the dance."

Damn, now I feel better about buying the 500 165gr. hornady interlocks the other day  . All of my 06's love them and they were only $21.00/100, so I figured why not. Hopefully my new 300 wsm loves them too.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

dog zapper: I'm sooo sorry to hear that you are lurking instead of CONTRIBUTING!!! If you need R & R, that understandable. Being in two professions different from yours, I would like to assure you that TREASON & TRAITORS are found EVERYWHERE.
I don't know you personally, but I feel like the little boy who cried out.. "shane, shane, come back." I RESPECT and prefer men who TELL IT LIKE IT IS instead of honey coating soured milk. I don't care how many peaches you put on COTTAGE CHEESE, it's still soured or clabbered.
We NEED men of experience and integrity like you and JB,et.al.
to GUIDE and recommend truthfully instead of being pc.
I hope that you will return to active participation SOON!!!

My partner shot a cow with the 165 bt this year at 27 yards. Perfect double lunger. No exit, it ran about 50 yards and died. Not a drop of blood anywhere on the snow, but did kill the elk. He is sold on them. I can't argue they work, but personally feel better with x's or partitions. But my experience is extremely limited compared to some of the other guys on this thread.

Thanks guys, I don't have much experience with elk hunting. It's good to have access to that kind of experience to be able to draw from.

Took my first elk with a 7mm RM/7mm 162g InterLock, about 110 yards. Haven't used them since. Don't like them at all for high velocity (close range) shots.
