RE: amazing elk bullets
I would 2nd the solid 165 and 168 gr bullets mentioned above. IMO I wouldn't go 180 gr with a 30-06 shooting long ranges. I grew up shooting very long distances in the open country of Wyoming and have seen people using 180+ gr bullets. It was only a matter of time until they all dropped back down. Look into the ballistics and drop at that yardage and you will see why.
