Bullet for elk hunting.

[rellison312]

I've never had any issues with accubonds on elk..... 165gr, 180gr, and 200gr all have gotten the job done for me out of a .300 win mag. Typically a full pass through, or tucked under the skin on the opposite side with almost 100% weight retention.

How about a 160 grain 7MM?

I don't have much experience with the 7mm beyond the 175 ELDX bullets. They work well, but don't seem to have the same weight retention as an accubond.

200 and 212gr ELDX out of a 300 win mag work well, although I haven't been able to get them to group as well as the accubond out of my rifles.

They work great out of much smaller chamberings too.

Hey everyone got a elk hunt coming up soon and trying to figure out the best bullet for it. I prefer to buy from small businesses. Rifle is a 308 win with a 24" barrel. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks!

Maybe 130 or 150 gr. Barnes

For a 308 I would use 165 gr Partitions ,I think that is the biggest a 308 will handle!

I gotta say..... try Badlands Bullets outa ND..... the work that they have done with their bullets and a 308 is VERY impressive......
Do a search on this site I believe it was called something like improving 308 performance..... PAGES long...... and a wealth of information.... loads,speeds and real life performance.....

300gr Berger @ 2972fps.
