[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 3031128, member: 126524"] I agree with FEENIX. Within 400 yards, any of the available bullets from 150 grain to 200 grain will work. Elk are not armor plated. They sometimes don't know when they are dead, but there is nothing a bullet can do about that unless you hit the CNS, and then it doesn't matter if it is a cup and core, bonded, or mono-metal, the elk is going down. In regards to the accuracy of the gun using heavier bullets, are you sure it is the gun? Heavier bullets mean more recoil. I have seen quite a few people claim their guns "don't like heavy bullets", but when that gun is put in the hands of someone who has good fundamentals and is used to heavier recoil, it shoots just as good as with the lighter bullets. This is not to disparage your friend at all, it is just to confirm that it actually is the firearm and not the shooter. [/QUOTE]
