RE: elk bullet
I used to run an'06 with just plain old Remington Core-lok but may look at the Nosler Partitions or even the Accu-bonds. All good bullets and will take one out iuf ya hit him right.
Now I use a 7mm with 175 nosler partitions and well I haven't taken an Elk yet with them the really rip up a deer at the 200+ ranges.
My 2 cents

RE: elk bullet
Barnes triple shock is the best elk bullet in my opinion.
With elk you want two holes for tracking purposes, unless you get REALLY lucky and they don't go anywhere.
Second would be the Nosler Partition, boringly consistent performance.
They just always work.
The Barnes will more consistently give you two holes than the partition.

RE: elk bullet
Remington Core-Loks will probably do the job....You wouldn't be related to the Kruegers' I know here in Western Washington would ya, krueger? They are an elderly couple, I forget from where though. Not native, lol..Just didn't seem like a popular name.

RE: elk bullet
with factory ammo in .308 win I use a 180 grain nosler partition, I recently began reloading for my .308. I'm loading a 165 grain Sierra BTHP Gameking Hopefully I'll get the chance soon to see how they do on a elk. If anyone has used it already on elk I would love to hear about it.

RE: elk bullet
Remington Core-Loks
I would recommend Nosler Partitions, Barnes, Swifts and I'd stay away from 180 gr shooting that far with a 30-06 (you mention 350 yds). Very poor ballistics out that far and 160'ish range is just fine on Elk and you get better performance.
