130 gr partition 56-60gr. of H4831 I shoot 58 grains at 3000 fps. 150 gr partition with 56 grains at around 2850 fps. Or 130 gr TSX or TTSX I shoot 60 grains and get around 3150 fps. TTSX and TSX are great bullets with slightly lower pressures and better velocity. Partitions are as proven...

I have always tried to shoot behind the shoulder, to try and get the heart and lungs. The only elk I have ever seen lost with a rifle were shot in the shoulder. I prefer well made bullets that will exit the far side. As far as behind the skull, head shot and all those "perfect shots"; I tend...
