I am taking mo Browning A bolt Elk hunting in Wyoming IN Oct ..What Brand and bullet weight would yall use ???

A 180 grain Partition or Accubond seems like it would be hard to beat. What are you shooting in it now?

I have had the gun for years and my 18 year old son hunts deer with it and shoots 165 grain hornady..I have only shot it a few times..

I've never shot one, but it seems like a cool caliber. You may want to look at the Barnes TTSX or TSX bullets, also. You could shoot a 165 grain in those and be good.

I would go as heavy as the gun likes and still groups well and yes a premium bullet that will hold together.

Barns TSX is where I'd start, then Partition, and if those dont group well, try a swift A frame.

The only bullet failures I've ever experienced was with a 150gr BST in the 300 WSM. A low SD bullet with a light jacket at 3200 fps equals blow up. I shot 5 deer and had to cut 3 throats, lost one, and clean killed one.

I sold the rifle, but now I wish I had kept the rifle and used a different bullet.

Do this, but also try it in a 180 gr.
Either will do the job well, just shoot the one that the gun likes best and then all you have to do is do your part. And if you get the chance to pop the cap, ha, ha, well you know what I mean, be sure to take a solid rest on something, anything, before you pull the trigger. Good luck, wish I was going on a nice hunt.

Shoot the Barnes TSX in 180 grain in mine.Shoot's great and performs excellent !!

Been using Remington core lokts in 150 gr for last 3 years. Taken deer in TX/KS/AL ... All one shot kills. Only one that didn't drop in it's tracks ran 30 yds before expiring. You can spend a lot more, but for my money it is a sound bullet and if you hit where you aim there is little to no tracking required.

when I could spend more I bought Winchester Supreme in 150 gr.
