[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 60571, member: 2852"] I believe in shooting elk in the shoulder blade/spine area and for that either bullet you mention will work fine. Elk are like cars, if you punch a gaping hole in the radiator hose, the car can still go a few miles before it seizes. But if you break the axle, it ain't goin nowhere. Break that shoulder bone and they won't get up. I have seen several elk double lunged and heart shot run for miles! I have seen the Accubond expand reliably with impact velocities of 800 fps and I would assume they would expand fine going even slower. I believe the Accubond to be the best long and short range bullet ever designed. I loaded some up for a friend of mine who shot a 360" bull elk at 25 yards and the mushroom looked the same as the one that came out of my cow elk at 820 yards. That is pretty **** amazing. The Partitions are fine bullets as well, but they lack the BC for long range shooting. Basically, any bullet can and will break the shoulder, but the Accubond will do it farther out in my opinion. The bc's are very high for the weight which will help you retain the energy farther. The 308 will do fine if you search for a bullet with the absolute highest bc you can find which will be a Scirroco, Interbond, or the Accubond. Hope this helped.
