what grain bullet would you use for elk hunting in 30-06 caliber?

I have never hunted elk, but I would think a premium 180gr. slug would do the trick.

Either a 165 or a 180 grain of premium construction for a lead core bullet. TBBC, Accubond, Partition, Interbond, A-frame, Scirocco, Grand slam, Fusion.

Even a 150 grain Barnes X bullet as the Barnes bullets retain 100% of their weight nearly 100% of the time.

I am with bigbulls. 150 to 180s. Good luck on the elk hunt.

I would recommend the 180s. There is a great selection of great 180 grain elk bullets in 30-06.

180-200....the .30-06 is enough case to push even the 200 to excellent speeds...around 2,700 if you wish...2,600 for sure.

Most would agree that the 180 is enough however. Nosler partitions have a very long list of satisfied customers.

Any premium bullet such as the tsx or failsafe will work fine in weights of 150gr or more.With conventional bullets 180gr works well.

180gr. in premium such as Nosler Part., Trophy Bonded, Remington Core-Lokt Ultra, etc..

Agree!

yup those and probably the power points too.
