[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 833797, member: 13632"] No one can tell you what a minimum would be, some people can't effectively kill an elk with a RUM at spitting distance while I've seen one guy pile up elk after elk with a 22-250. In normal ranges you can kill elk effectively with any thing you'll kill a deer with IMO, thee only reason I shoot more than my 270 sometimes is because I want range and with that comes big bullets that need displacement behind them, sometimes I like to just blow them out of their hooves too :D I was in on 22 elk kills last year, everything from 243 to 338 RUM most of them got piled with a 270 and most at normal ranges under 600 yards. The ONLY elk that was lost were shot with a 340 WBY, the guy shot and lost two and we finally found them a week later and after that we shot the rest of his ammo at a rock, he'll be shooting better bullets next year that have Berger on the box gun) [/QUOTE]
