[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 27897, member: 34"] I don't belive I would attempt an elk with the A-max line of bullets. They may be good for deer and Lopes but, elk are 6x to 8x bigger and the shoulders are massive in the big bulls. The MKs jackets are thicker then many of the so called hunting bullets and have performed well for us on elk. Even the JLK and Berger jackets are thinner then the MK but, also have done well on elk from reports. If the barrel twist was an 8 to 8 1/2 and I was using a 6.5, I would use the 140 to 142 MK bullets in it especially if the range was at 600 to 800 yards. You will be surprised as to what it will do. Of course shot placement means a lot. DC [/QUOTE]
