[QUOTE="KiwiIan, post: 2007531, member: 109579"] I've been hunting with a suppressed 16" 308 for several years now. I can't say that I've hunted any elk - but I have shot a number of large red deer. I have used a mixture of both factory and handloads. The factory has been both 150 SST & 150 GMX. The attached photo is of 3 recovered 150 GMX bullets left to right bullet recovered from a stag at just under 300 yards where as the other 2 are from hinds 70 and 40 yards respectively. Don't underestimate the 130 TTSX it is a thumper. These can be push along (3k) with a healthy dose of H335. I'm not a fan of the 150 SST. Seldom exits and doesn't kill quick enough in my opinion.
