Precision makes a solid point semi-spitzer in 430 grain and solid-point 450 Keith nose (a flat nose). The Semi-spitzer has good ballistics. Personally, I think once you get above 400 grains, you're gonna get enough penetration on elk even with a hollowpoint. Even so, I won't use hollow points on elk.

This is my opinion, so it may not be worth much, but, if I were going to use a flat nose on elk, I would use the 460 great plains by hornady and save some money (30 cents each). Want better flight? Colorado Conical semi-spitzer in 430 grain.
