RE: Which bullet for elk ???
This past January a friend & I were lucky enough to take a bull each in Manitoba. My partner shot his bull at 125 yards. He was shooting a 338 win mag, shooting Winchester 230 gr. - Supreme Fail Safe. The bullet passed through, the bull ran for the better part of 100 yards when he zigged to the left, zagged to the right, then fell over dead. I took my bull at a little more then 250 yards. I was shooting a 300 win mag, shooting Speer Nitrex - 180 gr Grand Slam. He too ran, only about 40 yards before running out of gas. I found the bullet just under the skin on the far side. As far as I am concerned both bullet's preformed perfect. We both shoot the same brand of rifle but found the bullet which groups the best with each rifle.
