[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1697662, member: 96251"] Never shot at or seen an elk yet in the wild. But I would for sure be looking at the Nosler partitions . They are just a tough reliable bullet. Shot placement as previously stated is paramount. I’ve personally seen what the itty bitty 60 gr Nosler partition from a 223 does to bigger whitetail deer and it is lung jello for sure. Only ever recovered one it was dead centered through a 3 1/2 yr old bucks shoulders. The bullet was just under the hide and perfectly mushroomed the rear half as it should be and the front was demolished. Dead deer within 4or 5 feet . We have a very high allowance of doe tags here and my two sons fill the freezer every year. Seen lots of different bullet results even Berger’s from the 7 mm and they all have done their part when bullet placement is first and foremost. Good luck.The bullet your gun shoots great now will be more than enough for sure [/QUOTE]
