[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 171672, member: 13"] Bob, First of all I have never taken an elk (or any big game animal @ 1K). I usually hunt and take elk most every year I hunt them and I have done it all with 6.5's, 7mm's and 30's. I am fully convinced one does not need at .338 to accomplish the task well. I believe there is a number of calibers that can work given the right set- up. I would start @ the .277 calibers and head upward. Probably a 6.5 would do the job, but I lean toward 7mm for my elk hunting and yes, under the right circumstances using one of Richard Grave's bullets I would take the shot with full expecation of killing it.
