Their was another thread about 165's in a 30-06 for elk, similar to yours about 200 grs for same animal. I went to Wyominmg last fall with a buddy who killed his 25th Bull Elk with his 30-06, with 165gr Nosler pt. He has never lost one. I would say that this is convincing enough proof that an 06 with a good 165 gr is great elk medicine. I killed one with the same bullet, and two with a 7x57 with 160 gr Hawks.
