[QUOTE="AggieHunter, post: 2773186, member: 83929"] I shot a free ranging elk in West Texas in Oct 2022. I was using my 300 PRC w/Hornaday's 225 EDLM (yes a match grade bullet) in the chest. 1 shot kill (I have the video to prove it). At 500 yards are less, you will be fine w/Nosler Accubond, Sierra Gamekings, Bergers and or the Hornaday. It's all about shot placement. I would also argue that the old 270 Winchester would be just fine at 500 yards. You don't need that monster caliber unless you want to shoot something at 1,500 yards or further. Don't let anybody talk you into something that you aren't comfortable w/. I ould be very comfortable shooting an elk w/my 300 PRC, 7 WSM or my 280 Ack Imp. [/QUOTE]
