[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 816255, member: 44282"] Hurl427, I knew a guy in Colorado that got his Elk every year with a 300 Savage (less power than the 308 Win). He knew his limit was 250 yds. or less and delivered the payload to the lungs. I personally would not shoot at an Elk over 350 yds. away with the 308 Win. I like the round and use it as my 500 yd. bench gun every winter. I also have a 300 Win Mag that I use for filling the freezer. it's overkill in the woods, but nice for those 600 yd. open shots. If I were to try to take a Deer or Elk beyond 500 yds., I would use my 300 Win Mag. It's very accurate and easy to shoot. A 7mm Rem Mag would also be a good choice, good BC, good SD, and Velocity. If your trying to go tactical in appearance, you are more likely to find the 308 Win or 300 Win Mag. Do not take me wrong, the 308 Win is a great cartridge, but it does have it's limits. Good Luck.
