[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3021029, member: 43503"] No experienced elk hunter here, but you might consider loading 130 gr Barnes TTSX in your 30-06. The 130 gr pill will give much reduced recoil, increased velocity, and does a good job of penetrating according to reports I've read. It's certainly capable for any deer, elk might be a bit of a stretch, but with shot choice and accurate shooting certainly good. The Barnes bullets should be used at a weight 30% below the weight of a standard cup and core bullet. So, the 130 gr TTSX is equivalent to a 186 gr cup and core. This is well into elk territory. Again the 30-06 will be very comfortable to shoot with a130 gr bullet. Hammer bullets might be similar to the Barnes, but I'm not certain of that. [/QUOTE]
