For many years I used a .338wm for elk, powered with 210 nosler handloads. Most of them dropped in their tracks.
My last bull was with a .375 HH using Sierra Gamekings. The gamekings were a new selection for me, the result of mass hoarding and trying to find enough boxes of one type to prep a load for. The gamekings performed as good or better than any partition and weight retention was incredible. Next best thing to a mono bullet, and I'll gladly use them again.
My last elk was a cow, shot with a custom 8x57, using Sellier and Bellot factory ammo, and the old "Tug" bullet design. At 260 yards, the cow stepped 10 feet into the bush and collapsed. I didnt recover the bullet on that one to report on weight retention.
