RE: Swiss K31 for ELK
Colorado Bob,
Definitely where you hit'em. I use the 165 grain in the 30.06 also. I load the Nosler ballistic tips for the 30.06 hunting rd. I used the Hornady's for the 7.5x55 this year, as I haven't completed the task of working up the right load for the K31 yet. These Hornady customs do the job for now. My next trip to the range with the 7.5x55 I will be trying the 165 gr Sierra BTSP with 45.8 grains of 4064. We shall see how they cronigraph and group.
I hunted north of Gunnison this year, so weren't too far from your "stompin grounds" I see.
Take care,
Roger
