[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 833500, member: 32685"] I posted a question about the .243 on ELk, what I would like to hear back on is what would be the Minimum you would use for Elk hunting. I saw that one person said that the .30-06 is good out to 700 yards...............What kind of energy would be left at that distance assuming your using a 180 gr bullet. I was told that the .243's max distance is 400 yds on Deer ........I would assume that the 6.5x284 would have the same max distance on Elk...........Now im assuming that we are talking out to 500yds which in my book is still a long shot..................... In your personal opinion what would be the minimum cartridge you would use on elk and what bullet would you use. G [/QUOTE]
