[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2246583, member: 36473"] My Elk hunting has been limited to taking 4 bulls. First was a spike at 60 yards taken with 30-06 and 2900fpsmv Sierra 165 GameKing. Second was a 4X4 at 370yards taken with 06/2825fpsmv/180 Sierra GK. 3rd 6X6 at 250 yards with 06/180 Partition in what Hornady called Light Magnum load. Last bull was a nice 6X6 at 100 yards 06/2825fpsmv/180 Sierra GK. If you shoot at ranges farther than 350 yards you could have a bull travel up to several hundred yards before he falls over dead. In this scenario it could be hell to track if in rough cover and no pass through. A simple cup and core bullet kills elk. The tougher construction like the terminal ascent would do better and have a better chance of through and through. Federal Fusion ammo is accurate and maybe not as tough as a partition but better than cup and core bullet. Hope the terminal ascent are accurate in your rifle and good luck. [/QUOTE]
