[QUOTE="WV Hitman, post: 3003397, member: 115208"] I have a 6.5/.284 XP-100 handgun. I've killed 2 800# kudus in Africa at 201 & 365 with a 130 Nos. AB & 125 Nos. PT. Both had complete penetration & both elk dropped. That saying, I also like monometals. I was a bullet tester for Lehigh for years. Their Chaos bullets work great. I've used them on deer & Bear (201 yds., .375/.284 XP 250 gr. Chaos. The base went thru both shoulders, the pedals in lung,liver,spine, back strap). Also taken deer out to 400 yds. with .30 cal. Chaos. As far as Etips, I've used a bunch in my .325 WSM XP. Taken deer out to 300 yds. & a 12 ft. croc in Africa at 80 yds. Excellent performance on all of these. All of the above bullets should do fine on elk. The 2 elk I've killed were a bull at 352 with a .338 JDJ Conder & a original 200 gr. Nos. BT and a bull at 180 with a .330-06 JDJ Encore & a 185 X. Both of these dropped the elk ( to my guide's surprise). Elk are tough, but not bullet proof. Any of the "tougher" bullets will work. My preference is the 130 AB. [/QUOTE]
