Mono’s for me.

Barnes 150 TTSX in my 7mmx300 and 165 tsx in my .30-06 both result in dead elk.

Depends on the cartridge, or more precisely the impact velocities expected.

Right now a 270 Win with either 130 or 150gr. Last elk I shot was with the 130gr. But I would use the partition in what ever caliber.

Terminal Ascents or ELD-Xs are what I stick with outta my 7mm Rem Mag

Growing up in Saskatchewan, my dad and I shot moose and elk with Winchester soft points and Remington Corloks. For many years now, I guess since I began reloading I starting using Nosler partitions, as well as Accubonds. I have a bit of a stock pile of these in 7mm and .30 cal and I guess it’s just piece of mind that they are better, and they certainly work.

I just got myself a new to me Tikka 7mm-08 and bought a box of 140 gr TTSX that I will develop a load with for it. As much as I do like the Nosler bullets, they are hard to find and stupid expensive when you do.

I don’t foresee myself going back from the premium bullets.
