[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 564473, member: 10832"] For that power level the 165-168 grain bullet is pretty tough to beat. I really like the A-max's and would use them for mule deer on down but not for elk. The 165-168 grain bullets typically provide better ballistics than the 178-190 grain bullets in my experience. You can get a bit less wind drift with the 208gr bullets but drop will be more as will recoil. It is a matter of balancing the factors that are most important to you. For elk, the Nosler Accubond, Hornady SST or Interbond, and the Swift Scirocco are all very good bullets. If you decide on the 208 grain bullets I would personally think about the A-maxes again as well as the SMK's. [/QUOTE]
