[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1129823, member: 92442"] What bullets are you guys using for elk? I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a .300 win mag or .300 WSM for my build. My family has always used Hornady Interlock BTSP bullets with great success. We've killed about 4 elk with our little .243s at relatively close range and they do a number on the deer back home in PA. We're not crazy about the bullets that don't fragment as much - my dad shot an elk 4 or 5 times in the vitals with Barns X-bullets out of his 7mm-08 @ ~100 yards before it died and has never used them since. What do you like for elk? Are the interlocks well suited for long range? The .405 BC doesn't sound too hot.
