Whats your elk bullet?

[brooks]

This year I'll be using a 7mm rem mag for elk and a 160 grain Nosler AccuBond bullet. Im using Reloader22 and IMR7828 short cut trying to find the right load. I have used AccuBonds on deer and antelope and they have worked great but never shot an elk with one. Anyone ever use 160 AccuBonds for elk? What bullet are you using for elk in the rifle you use?

I have shot bulls with Remington CoreLokt, Speer Grand Slam, Partition, Accubond, Fail Safe, TSX, TTSX, and Berger VLD Hunting.

They all worked as advertised for me. My favorite on-game performance came from the Barnes. I haven't got my 2012 picks quite narrowed down yet, though.

Have shot 2 elk with my 7mm WSM using 160 grain Accubonds, both one shot kills. One was a 310 yards, dropped in its tracks.

I use the same as you. Killed a 350" bull at 425 yards with pass through. Also alot of 300lb mule deer all with awesome performance.

I've also had good luck with the Accubonds. I took a 6x6 bull two years ago with a 200 gr. Accubond in my 300 ICL. Good performance. Years ago, I used 65 grs. of old H4831 in my 160 gr 7 mag loads with good luck.

150 grain barnes ttsx in the .284 ( borderline for BIG elk or not quite placed right) and 180 grain ttsx in the .300 win mag

Sounds like the 160 AccuBond will work. Thanks. I was thinking of trying Barnes but the AccuBond has worked so good on deer and goats I thought a 160 will probably do good on elk. I see on different forums alot of people are using them.

180 Nosler Partition in my .300 Wby. All I ever use in it for elk & moose.

I mainly use my tikka t3 .300 win mag when elk hunting and it prefers nosler partitions. I tried to use barnes tsx but I just couldn't get them to group as well as the partitions.

I like my 225 grain Accubonds out of my .338 WM!!

30-06 with 180gr Accubonds.

I tend to shoot whatever my rifle prefers, but i have had exceptional results with Barnes.

I used the Barnes on elk last year in my 300 win mag and the all copper bullet did the trick!

180 grain Barnes TSX being pushed by IMR7828 out of my 300 WM.

165 Accubond in my 300 WSM at a bit over 3000 fps is what i am going with.

I use 168 grain Berger vld 7mm for deer, elk, and bear spot and stalk. Varmits too where legal.
