Default RE: What premium bullet for elk?

I completely agree with the last two posts. A 160 and 175 grain bullet is not needed elk hunting. They are not nearly as tough as people like to make them out to be.

However, there is a very good selection of premium bullets in 160 grain.

Here are the bullets that I would choose to hunt elk with the 7mm Rem mag.

Any of Federals 160 grain loadings would make excelent elk medicine. They load the BArnes TSX, Partition, Accubond, and TBBC. Also the 140 grain partition.

Hornady loads a 154 grain interbond that would be another excelent choice.

Winchester loads the 140 & 160 grain failsafe, 140 & 160 grain accubond, And 160 grain partition gold.

Remington loads the 150 grain Swift Scirocco, 160 grain core lokt ultra, 160 grain A-frame, and the 140 grain core lokt ultra.
