Default RE: Best 30-06 Load For Elk?

The 220 is too slow. The 180 grain is the perfect weight in a 30 caliber and is plenty heavy in a premium bullet. You could even drop down to 165 with an X bullet but you probably wouldn't need that extra 100fps of velocity and would trade it for a little more penetration from the 180gr.
