[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1000326, member: 67011"] The nice thing about the 30/06 is how versitle it is. I'm a fan of the SST but not for elk. It's a little to soft. Some are going to recomend the heaviest bullet possible, but for a good "do all" bullet for the 30/06 I would think you would be more than fine with a good bonded bullet in the 165gr range. Bullet technoledgy has come so far I really don't think you need 180gr in a .30 to take elk at moderate ranges. I think Hornadys Interbond or Noslers Accubond would be fine for what your doing. I always laugh when I hear about people that think they need a cannon to kill an elk. Keep this in mind- Bow hunters kill them all the time. It only takes one arrow to kill an elk but some people honestly think they need artillery to put one down. I've killed more elk with a bow than a rifle. It's not rocket science. [/QUOTE]
