[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 944448, member: 70595"] I have seen elk killed with everything from a 257 rob to the 300 winmag. Whatever you choose to shoot an elk with, you should be comfortable with the recoil and the weight of the rifle itself. Pick a bullet that you know will do the job based on your abilities, not on what you hear or read. My family has done well with .257rob, .270win and a 7mmremmag. I have killed elk with a 300winmag and can say that compared to the "smaller" calibers, the 300 was the best for me but I can no longer tolerate the recoil. Long story short, choose a caliber you are comfortable with and you can shoot well. There is no magic caliber for an elk. [/QUOTE]
