RE: .30 cal elk bullet?
I have a few that come to mind.
From Nosler - Partitions, and Accu Bond.
Hornady - Interbond
Barnes - TSX or X Bullet
Combined Technology - Fail Safe, Partition
I have never been elk hunting yet, but my old man took my 7mm Rem Mag on his last hunt. He was able to harvest 2 bull elk on the hunt with 2 different reloads of mine. The first bull he shot was with 160gr Nosler Accu Bonds, bull dropped in its tracks. The second bull he shot (backed up buddy), was after it was hit with another guys 338, he put one Barnes 160gr TSX into the bull and it went roughly 15 yards. Both shots were in the 175 yard range. Both loads also shot to the same point of aim.
