[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2475899, member: 55998"] JMO&E, I have taken elk from 20-225 yards. Always used a fairly stout bullet because of this variance. Usually Nosler Partitions or Barnes TTSX. Only used a 30 caliber on elk. They can be tough. A stout premium 7mm of 140 or heavier should do the job. I’m not a fan of delicate bullets just because the ranges can be quite varied. I also highly suggest you keep shooting until the animal is down and stays down. I’ve seen a number of guys shoot, then watch the elk go over a hill never to be found. I was watching through binos and they were good hits (the triangle). Elk, especially big bulls, can be quite shock resistant. Chat with your guide about his recommendations. [/QUOTE]
