[QUOTE="imartin, post: 1828393, member: 106328"] I have experience with the 25-06, but not with Elk. The cartridge has amazed me with it's performance on whitetails. I have used Winchester 120 gr PEP and Remington core-lokt 100 gr but most have been with handloads consisting of 117 gr Hornady BTSP's at 2900-3000 fps. All whitetails DRT. If I had to use it for Elk with factory ammo I would go with the Federal 115 partition load, Chrono the load, and then crunch some numbers to figure out max range based on the amount of energy I want to dump into the animal. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
