[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1915536, member: 88320"] When I first got the gun I used 117 Sierra game kings with IMR 4831. I killed a few deer and Barbary sheep with that load. I switched to 115 Nosler ballistic Tips, IMR 4831 averages FPS 3080. With that load we killed approximately 5 elk, shots range from 400 down to 50 yards, all 1 shot kills. 4831 has been the most accurate powder for me, R 25 and Retumbo generate great speeds but I could get consistent accuracy with them like I can with 4831. If I was going to use for elk today i would likely look into 110 accubonds The gun somehow always finds its way out of the safe going on a hunt despite the fact I have "much better" (wink) cartridge choice for all occasions now days [/QUOTE]
