If you can use sabot and a regular bullet - this is my choice currently for Elk here.... It use to be Nosler Partitions but since they have stopped production on the 458 partions I have switched to the Lehigh/Bloodline .458-300 or the Lehigh .458-305 - 45-70 bullet...
This is the Lehigh/Bloodline .458-300 for a Muzzleloader
This is the Lehigh .458-305 grain for the 45-70 rifle - I call it the buffalo bullet because the guys report such success with it shooting Buffalo...
This cow was shot at 176 yards and dropped on the spot
