[QUOTE="wackinandstackin243, post: 792020, member: 59412"] For elk I would suggest the as much power as you can shoot well. I have seen calm elk go down easily with a 243 and seen elk that were spooked hardly flinch from multiple well placed 338 shots. I dont know what unit or units you plan on hunting but public units in CO can be tough to get a standing shot by the time rifle season comes around. Whatever you choose make sure you practice and follow up on your shots. Elk can be tough to put down and sometimes hard to even tell if they were hit. And sometimes there are a million other hunters who try to tag it before you can get to your kill. [/QUOTE]
