[QUOTE="winmag, post: 401732, member: 22166"] If thats your opinion then dont use one. Ive seen elk hit well with big 338 mags and run off,and die in a hell hole somewhere where it takes days to pack em' out. But Ive also seen women and kids smoke elk DRT with a 243 and a 308. A 25 cal will do fine at a reasonable range with the right bullet and placement. I agree with another one of your posts about neck shots being ''iffy''. I dont like em either, but they work for some people. I aggree a bigger caliber would be a bennifit. Heck Im a big 270 and 30, and 338 cal fan. But I dont recomend you tell a guy what he can and cant use based on your opinion. Suggestions on what has worked for you is fine. Suggesting someone use a bigger caliber is fine when done with tact in certain situations. Defining someone elses rifle as wrong for the job is strictly your opinion. Respect the animal by knowing your effective range, and proper shot placement. You can kill an elk with a 22lr if your close enough and hit em in the head. Im not trying to be grouchy. I agree with some points you have. I also would prefer to use a bigger rifle, but Im just sayin ease up a bit. If all you had was a 25 cal rifle would you give up elk huntin? I wouldnt. [/QUOTE]
