[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2425476, member: 69192"] I am a .270 fan, so....your post caught my attention when I read the heading. I have used plenty of Nosler partition bullets for taking game, however never hunted elk so not much help with that question. A few years ago I took an interest in monolithic bullets, once I started using them I never looked back. The performance that I have gotten on game if phenomenal, and from my point of view will outperform anything jacketed (I'll probably start a fight with this statement. I have been using Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets, and just moved to trying a box of Hammer bullets for black bear hunting. Hammer bullets quite a variety of bullets for the .277 caliber, their line also has a 140 grain bullet and up as well.
