Default RE: Bullet weight for Elk

Bullet construction is more important than bullet weight.A 140gr failsafe or barnes x will penetrate better than a conventional 175gr bullet.If you use one of these bullets or a partition you can stick with your current bullet weights.If you use standard bullets such as power points or corelokts you should move up to 160 and 180 gr respectively.
