[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1563057, member: 13110"] I've killed elk with most of the common bullet designs except solid copper bullets. My first was 165 Partitions out of a 308 Baer. A spike took 4 rounds of that load going 3350fps. So I built a bigger gun, a 358STA. I shot 5 elk with that rifle and 250 Hornady bullets before switching to the same case necked up to .375. Shot 5 or 6 more with Sierra 250's and Winchester 270gr Fail Safe's out of the .375-358STA to 650yds. Shot a couple with 350 Speer Magtips out of my 416 Rem mag (the furthest was 350yds). Then I got heavy into muzzleloaders and shot probably 15 with Powerbelts and saboted SST's. Back into rifles I shot 2 with 210 Matrix VLD bullets out of a 30-8mm mag (the furthest was 400yds), 3 with a 6.5-300wm and 140 Amax's (the furthest was 200yds), 2 with 140 Bergers out of a 6.5x47 (100-200yds), 1 with a 7-300wm using 162 Amax's (533yds), 1 with a 7STW and 180gr JLK's, 4 with a 300wm and 215 Bergers (out to 1081yds) , and 5 with a 300wsm and 215 Bergers (out to 600yds). If I can get them to shoot well I'm going to switch it up from the 215 Bergers I've used for the last several years and try the ELD-M's. [/QUOTE]
