[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1370517, member: 10178"] I have never hunted elk because they don't live where I do in hunt-able numbers but I have killed a good number of deer with my 264 Win mag. It has a 9" twist Shilen barrel so I chose the 130 gr Nosler Accubond. I have shot over two dozen deer from 25 to just over 500 yards and this bullet reacts the same. I usually shoot through the shoulders and the bullet goes in scrambles the vitals and exits about nickel size. I have never had a deer go over a couple of death dancing steps after receiving one and most drop like the ground has been jerked out from under them. I recovered only one and it was into a buck almost length wise. Smashed the left shoulder went length wise of buck and was found against the smashed right ham ball socket. Text book mushroom and weight was 87 grs. If I was going elk hunting this would be the rifle and load I would use. Oh! my rifle has a 27 3/4" barrel and this bullet does 3350 fps with Retumbo.
