[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 895523, member: 13632"] One bullet I would NOT shoot elk with from a magnum is the 180 Ballistic tip! The bullet that is the go to bullet in the 300 Mag is the 215 Berger IMO, you get penetration into the chest cavity with the good sectional density and the delayed opening of the Berger design but you get a very good permanent wound channel in the core of the animal when that bullet opens that thrashes arteries and all the stuff that sustains life in an elk. Elk do very poorly if you put a big wound channel though anything behind the ribs but can move out if you put a small wound channel through them if you don't hit bone. Big permanent wound channels cover your butt not exit holes!! [/QUOTE]
