[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1877375, member: 75451"] While many elk have been killed with the bullets on your list, unless you can pretty much guarantee that it “will not” be needed for a close shot....I suggest “none of the above”. With the velocities available with your RUM, you should have more than adequate velocity for good expansion @ and a bit beyond the 800 yards you stated.....I’d suggest a more “heavily” constructed bullet! The “aforementioned” (more heavily constructed) bullet, should give you more reliable performance at close range, should that shot present itself....yet perform well at extended ranges! Something to consider, if a shot presents itself at close range, you may not have time to “surgically” place the bullet.....this is where a “premium” bullet gives you an insurance policy!
