[QUOTE="Highbrass, post: 2602766, member: 123894"] This should be interesting. I have been tasked with helping a young man (17) who is about to embark on his first Elk hunt. He is being gifted with an older but pristine Browning BAR in 30-06. I have secured a nice scope and mount that should work well. Now I need to make a good handload that would work well for Elk. I have several good bullet options on hand. Sierra 165 Game Changer Sierra 180 TGK Swift 180 Scirocco Berger 168 Hunting I think I have good loads worked up for all of these that would work quite well. My issue is I personally have never hunted Elk and would be open to suggestions from those with more experience than myself. As soon as I have everything ready I will take him to my local range and we will get him shooting to 200 yds (farthest available) with a good ammo selection. The young man is an experienced hunter and has done quite well on whitetail to 125 yds. What would your suggestions be ? [/QUOTE]
