[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 926114, member: 38801"] I've never shot an elk, but they are animals with lungs and a heart. In my 26" 25-06 I have used Gamekings, core-lokt's, Partitions, Hotcores, Nosler Ballistic tips, SST's, and Bergers. From my experience on whitetail, I would use partitions or a monometal bullet. Bergers, and 100 grain gamekings have failed to penetrate all the way on multiple deer. 117 grain gamekings and SST's act very similarly giving good expansion and pentration. I have never recovered a core-lokt, partition, or hotcore but the deer always died. Elk are a lot wider than white tail in their chest area, and their bone is a lot heavier. Chose your shot like a bow hunter does and I would have no problem shooting an elk with my 25-06. [/QUOTE]
