[QUOTE="171farm, post: 2486873, member: 110956"] I honestly didn’t read all the replies so sorry if some of this was already said… I know this might not be a popular opinion but there are a lot of people taking elk with 6.5. It’s all about a quality bullet and proper shot placement. Personally I’d prefer “more power”. Again plenty of elk have been taken with 30.06 and is a very popular do it all gun that can take down most anything in North American. But if your looking to ensure you have what it’s gonna take to anchor a bull at distance I’d opt for the 300 win mag, shooting 180-200 gr ammo. Regardless which you go with, pick a quality hunting bullet and make a good shoot, any of the rounds you mentioned will do it. All personal preference. Good luck [/QUOTE]
