[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 248661, member: 12863"] Mike Bullet selection and human competition are what makes me decide on a caliber for elk. I have taken 6 elk with a 6MM and a hundred grain bullet to 300 yards. I have taken a bunch more with the 7 X08 and a 140 grain bullet to 300 yards. No other hunters were competing with me and the only animal that did not drop immediately was a ragg horned bull shot at 50 yards going down hill on the run. He traveled fifty yards and piled up. Think the 280 AI pretty much answers the same call as the 7MM Rem Mag factory round without the recoil. 160 grain Accubond is sound advise in my opinion. Neal [/QUOTE]
