[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1662103, member: 5219"] IMO the 230 will be a better choice for closer shots on elk. I shot a bull and a cow with the 230 from my 300 RUM. A friend shot a cow. While all the the shots were 300 yds and under, with muzzle velocities running 2735 for his 300 WSM and 2800 for my Rum. My cow was a high shoulder shot broadside at 250 yds exiting with 1 1/2" hole , DRT. Bull was quartering facing me, put bullet between shoulders, exited ribs back a ways through offside 2" hole. Friend's cow was a broadside shot behind the shoulder exited with 1 1/2" hole. She stood still for 5 seconds and stiff legged went over like a felled tree. I will continue to use this bullet for elk.
