[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2282330, member: 101791"] I used a 308 Norma Mag for years, with 165 gr Accubonds or Ballistic tip @ 3300 fps, and never had a problem with bring down a elk out to 400yds or so. Taken them either from side to side or from hide end to front. Very little in blood shot either. I now use a 338WM w/200gr Accubonds @ 3230fps. I have felt for year that the 338 caliber does a better job in opening up an elk or creating a large wound channel. I have seen a lot of elk taken by 338's and was impress with the caliber. So I have a second one being built with a 26" barrel. Longer range I feel that ha heaver bullet is needed to create the fpe to do the job. Those rounds will get you out there to easy 600 yds with fpe to do the job. [/QUOTE]
