[QUOTE="Bigdad, post: 2600375, member: 5072"] I like the 35 Whelen at reasonable ranges but her ability to shoot comfortably/accurately is the most important. 708 with a good bonded core or mono bullet at moderate range is a good choice. The 139 Interbond should work well. If recoil is a concern you can reduce it slightly by going to a lighter bullet such as Barnes TTX 120 grain or other solid copper bullet and still get the penetration needed for elk. [/QUOTE]
