[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1809794, member: 69478"] I would look for a bigger cartridge for killing elk at 800 yards. The ‘06 and .270 will be at their max on deer at that range, let alone elk. There’s not going to be one size fits all bullet that works magic at every range. The Berger’s and ELDs are great, but they are soft up close. A bullet like an AccuBond is great out to a few hundred yards, but they lack the high BC to carry energy, velocity, and buck wind. Also, Partitions and AccuBonds are heavy duty and don’t expand well at lower velocities. You’re going to be hard pressed to find a bullet that doesn’t blow up inside 200 yards and still reliably expands at 800 yards. Especially out of standard cartridges like the .270 and .30-06.
