[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 2407987, member: 115081"] If I were to hunt elk today the only ammo that I have on hand that is anywhere near suitable is a box of long discontinued Remington Core-Lokt .30-06 220gr SP. Scratch that. I also have 150gr SST ballistic tip Hornady which is a little hotter at 3110 fps than the standard American Whitetail 150gr ammo at 2910 fps that I been using. I'd be comfortable using the SST at 200 yards or less for elk but would be more comfortable with the ELD-X 178gr at longer range. The 220gr ammo passed along to me when my Dad passed away, that and a worn Remington .30-06 pump rifle. It's no long distance cartridge to be sure but during its heyday it took down a lot of elk. It's the only ammo my grandfather used for N.Mex elk. [/QUOTE]
