[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 3066157, member: 52585"] Agreed with memtb above. We hear and read about elk kills of all sorts of chamberings which will all work within their limits. IMO, if you want to shoot a long ways there's no such thing as too dead. A 7 SAUM would be a minimum but it really starts at a 300 mag of some flavor. I've recently sized up to a 338 Rum but most anything from 300 wsm and up with high bc bullets will get you in the conversation. My current on game limit is 750 in ideal conditions. I've shot 2 in the 620-50 range and 3 at 540-75 all with 215 and 230 hybrids from a 300 winny and 30 nosler. BTW, if you're looking at factory rifles that limits your choice to those known for great accuracy and enough twist to run heavy VLDs. [/QUOTE]
