[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 345009, member: 1007"] For heavy game such as elk, bears and large mulies I use the 200 Sierra Game King. It has a very good BC, low velocity expansion threshold and high weight. In short, it will open at 1500 FPS where as the Barnes and Partitions and Accubonds are 1800 FPS. With the high weight and BC of the SGK and the low impact velocity needs it makes an awesome 308 hammer. You will see 1500 FPS between 700-800 yards depending on the velocity you run them. Also where they cross 1500 FPS, they also run 1000 pounds of energy. You will be very hard pressed to beat the 200 SGK in a 308 for elk unless you limit your range to 300-400 yards. Hope that helps!
