[QUOTE="screech, post: 138294, member: 5135"] paper punching dosen't need a big magnum. Critter killing does past 600 yards. I would use a 308, 7mm-08, 6.5x284 ect for up to 500-600 yards on deer etc. Elk or bigger need a magnum. It can be done with smaller calibers but Elk can soak up alot of lead and keep on going. I have seen them take 3 or 4 338win mags before giving up the ghost and 6-7 300win before giving up. these were all front vital shots not gut shot etc. It just depends on the animal. by the way these were two different incedents. most aren't that tough though.
