Cow Elk Hunt with Grendel

[MKN574]

For my first post on this forum I didn't think I would cause this much controversy. I just wanted some bullet suggestions to try for a medium skinned animal. I am not a novice hunter. I primarily hunt elk with a bow and know the animal quite well. I am familiar with their anatomy and my shooting skills. My last 5 elk in six years have been shot at 2, 6, 10, 16 and 12 yards. The last being a 6x6 at 12 yards this last september. I understand and know how to take an elk down. I am going to use the grendel but just wanted suggestions on a good bullet. I have not tested more than 2 different bullets on game with the grendel(120 grain hotcore and 107 sierra). 2 deer with each bullet. I practice regularly out to 1000yrds with my 50bmg and spend alot of time at the 500 to 600 yrd range with the grendel and 308. I am not wanting to shoot my cow elk at these ranges though. Planing on trying to keep it under 300yrds.

Bill, thanks for the suggestion. I will try the 120 grain barnes ttsx's out. Just skeptical about accuracy with them.
