I'm looking for some input on an elk load for my Howa 1500, 20" barrel, chambered in .308 with a 1:10 twist. I'm looking at something in the 165-175gr range, using Varget powder, and would like to stay monolithic. I use 130gr TTSX,s in my 300blk for whitetail, and am considering using those or TSX,s in 165gr, or Cutting Edge MTH. Being from the midwest, I've never hunted elk, so any input from those that have, would be greatly appreciated. Shots would be no longer than 300 yards, as that's all I have the ability to practice to at the moment. Thanks for any help.
