Non-Lead round for Elk

[Litch]

A buddy of mine drew a Cow tag for Hunter Liggett and was told he could not use lead ammo. Any suggestions for a good non-lead round?

Only one real choice right now... Barnes. The TSX are proven performers for most who've used them (some exceptions), and are available in most calibers and bullet weights.

The Barnes MRX are also available, but are designed more for longer range shooting.

Winchester/Nosler should be about ready to turn out their eTipt bullets, but it'll only be in 30-06.

Thanks Speckmisser, we will give them a try at the range.

Not on all caliber,i'am having problem finding it on 270wsm. almost all big stores are out of stock, like cabelas midway and basspro.

non-lead ammo:

non-lead retailers

courtesy AZ game & fish, where condor are dying of lead poisoning more than in CA (Kaibab deer are migratory and "herd up" when the snows fly-we don't have that in condor range in CA).

Barnes X or TSX. You didn't say what caliber.
