240gr bullet for elk

[WA. Smoke]

Hey guys, newbie here, but not to frontstuffing.

I've recently switched from using a 295gr Power Belt to a sabot from precision's Dead Center line up in 300gr bullet. I have plenty of faith in a 300gr bullet on elk. But who's killed with lighter weights???

The Dead cnter is supposed to be one heck of a penetrator!!!! I like two holes in elk! I'll have to shoot them but I'm wondering if I can extend my range and still rely on the Dead Center to pound elk with a 240 gr bullet?

Welcome to the forum. I think a 240 grain is a little light weight, but then I have no experience with this department. I would go with a 275 parker extreme, or perhaps a 300 grain Nosler, or something like that. Then again, they are hunted with 250 grain Shockwaves, so a 240 grain Dead Center might work just fine.
