[QUOTE="littlewhaler, post: 1435030, member: 50114"] I think most experienced hunters agree that bullet placement is at least equall in importance to cartridge and bullet type for elk. If you can consistently place your bullet inside a pie plate at 400-600 yds uphill or downhill you will have a high percent of one shot kills on elk with a 280AI. If you can't hit the boiler room you will need more shots and elk get tuff when you miss no matter what you are shooting. The 150 or 160 gr Accubond is my favorite for both elk and big mule deer. Strong bullet, good expansion, and excellent velocity for 3-500 yd shots with 280 AI. Bigger gun not necessary and my hunt partner only shoots a 270 130 gr bullet for 30 yrs..but he places well, selects premium bullet and shoots up to 400 yds on elk. Good hunting [/QUOTE]
