[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 2018680, member: 17112"] I know it's controversial to some but I would recommend the 185 Berger Hybrid Target. If you're not comfortable with that then I would go with either the 185 VLD or Elite Hunter. My personal experience with Berger and Sierra target bullets has been positive. I know Berger recommends 1-10 for the 185 Hyb but they also recommend a 1-9 for the 215 and I've got them to shoot in a couple 10twist barrels very well. The other "target" bullet that I've seen dispatch many many deer is the Sierra 190 MatchKing. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't be great for elk. I don't know where you fall on the target/hunting bullet debate but the Nosler 180 Accubond would also be a good hunting bullet. Probably not so much so for target. As far as powder, I'd start with the H1000. If you have a chronograph and your ES/SD are a little wild and you're getting flyers jump to the 4831. I'm sure others will work, but I've only used those 2. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
