While I agree with the recommendations for the Nosler partition and the
Barnes triple shock for elk, don't dismiss the Nosler Accubond either. My friends and I have killed 19 moose with the 160 gr. 7mm Accubond. We only recovered a few since they normally penetrate clear through. The few that we did recover were nicely mushroomed and ran a consistant 70% weight retention. If they will shoot through a moose with one shot kills, they will certainly do the job on elk. I killed several elk with the old Nosler solid base and that was not even bonded.
