I don’t have the experience shooting elk, but I’d be a bit worried that the .308 wouldn’t carry enough velocity for reliable expansion to 300 yards with the heavier bullets. I think the Barnes billets are rated to expand as low as 1800fps. I think I’d be looking at a 150gr instead. Without plugging it into a ballistic calculator, I’d be hesitant with the 165gr and heavier monos. The best part of using monos is you don’t have to worry about penetration as even light-for-caliber bullets seem to hold their own and penetrate well!
