On a 22" 280 AI with 1:9 twist, what is the prevailing choice of bullet(s) in the hammer lineup for a guy looking to shoot an elk with Monos?
 
Thank you all.

What kinda velocities are you looking for to ensure proper functionality down range? 1800-2000?
 
I just built a 23" barrel 280 AI. Plan on running the 140 AH. Guys with 22" barrels are getting 3300 + FPS with that bullet. I haven't shot my gun yet, but hoping they shoot good. I'm sure the 143 would be great too. It gets good reviews.
