poll on what grain bullet you use for elk.

[Oh Mah]

I just wanted to put this poll out to see what people are using most often for their elk hunting bullets.Why you use them would be a bonus. 

[WSU]

I use 200 and my wife uses 130, which there is no option for.

[Stein]

168 because it shot far better than 180 in my rifle.

[BULLBLASTER]

Haven’t hunted elk with a rifle for a few years but when I do again it will be with 215 Berger’s

[Mulieman]

180 in the 7mm
105 in the 6mm

Both Berger VLDs.

[Oh Mah]

6mm is not a a legal elk bullet.

THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SHOWN WRONG THE 6MM BULLET IS ACTUALLY .243 NOT 6MM WHICH IS .236 IN.. SO SKIP THIS.

[Curly]

Really?

I'm not understanding why 6mm is not a legal elk round. Wouldn't that be like a 243 which would fall in the legal caliber minimum requirements for big game hunting.

[Mulieman]

6mm is not a a legal elk bullet.

.24 or larger is legal for elk. 6mm is .243

[BULLBLASTER]

6mm is not a a legal elk bullet.

.24 or larger is legal for elk. 6mm is .243

[Oh Mah]

ok i guess the 6mm bullet is bigger than the actual measurement of 6mm. 

6mm is .236 in diameter.

[Matth]

I'm trying out some sledge hammers in 255 at the moment, that i think i like. Usually i shoot 250 grain partitions.

[Oh Mah]

I will broaden the polling for the big boys. 

[kball4]

162gr for the 7mm
225 for the 338wm

[grundy53]

I use 200 grain accubonds
