[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2245741, member: 75451"] Assuming that your ranges will allow your bullet to remain at a reliable expansion speed... I would go with a good bonded or mono bullet! My preferences heavily lean toward the mono’s. Check out the Hammer’s and many of the comments about them on this forum. I think you would be quite happy with them! Though you didn’t ask.....I’d also lean toward the .308 over the 6.5. Unless the 6.5 is one of the “hot rod” 6.5’s. I’m very “old school” when it comes to elk, I prefer a larger hole in my elk....preferably 2 holes! 😉 The mono’s will allow you greater shooting angles on your game, due to much greater penetration capabilities. When you have limited hunting time and large bodied, heavy boned animals are your interest..... having greater shot options is a plus! memtb [/QUOTE]
