I used the bullet in my Husky small ring 98 design 7X57AI some years back, and it worked just fine. You'll need to remember if a well hit elk is still on his feet and moving, send him another round.Hey all. Looking at my first western hunt next year and want to try elk while I’m still young-ish enough to climb and hustle. I’m nearly 100% taking my 7 REM Mag, and looking at the bullet options. I’ve had excellent luck on deer sized game with 150 grain Partition bullets, and wondered how they’d hold up on elk? I see several comments on 160 grain partitions but not much on the 150?
Thoughts?
My back up rifle is a 6.5PRC with 142gr ABLRs
I'm considering the 175 ABLR in a new Kimber Mountain Ascent I have on the way for my NV elk hunt in November but need to know whether a 1:9.5 twist rate will stabilize them? Shots could be 400 yards +. I turned 79 a week ago, and this will be my last elk hunt. Neuropathy is chasing me faster than I can run.
