work up, and placed in the heart/lung will kill any Elk walking, especially with in 300 yrds. Remember to show us photos of your hunt/harvest.
The Biggest bull elk I ever saw taken in Montana was with a 308 it was a huge 7/7 bull. The shot was good, but the guy shot it again to make sure such a life time bull didn't get up. I helped him pack it out. In my 308 i only use Nosler Partition 180 or something like that say an A frame does a much better job for me than cup and core bullets. So many good powders to use take your pic what works best for you.
In the 70s I hunted a lot with a lifelong 70yo Montana resident for elk. He used a iron sighted Savage 99 in 300 savage with 180 gr bullets. It was a deadly combination. at less than 200 yds. Of course I realize he had lots of time and could take only close shots. The point is that a scope sighted .308 with good bullets is more than adequate. The nosler Part. has always worked well.
Partitions are fantastic bullets.
I dont think that applies.
Maybe I’m wrong or he made a typo but the SMK is the Sierra Match King. A SGK Sierra Game King would be appropriate but to suggest the use of match bullets for big game is either irresponsible or meant to be inflammatory. I guess I took the bait.
I wouldnt assume trolling. Some elk hunters, a lot actually have moved to using certain match bullets for game as their performance has been astounding. Most better than typical "hunting bullets." I wont argue that with you as you have your opinion and your entitled to it. I just think its a little inflammatory to accuse a member of trolling for suggesting a bullet others are having good success with regardless of whats printed on the box.
