[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 1985719, member: 15399"] First, how good a shot is she and at what range will she be shooting? An elk is a big target and I feel a good, penetrating premium bullet is more important than a long-range target bullet. As such, and not knowing your niece, I'd opt for a Nosler Partition bullet in 160gr. I've had good luck with Varget running loads to 2500fps. If higher velocities are desired, you might try Hunter. I like 4831 and R-19, but they need to be hot loads to get 2700 fps and accuracy tends to suffer. They both work wonderfully at 2500fps. Hope this helps. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
