[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 1592179, member: 84285"] Dan, I've hunted elk for around 20 years and you will find TONS of opinions out there. Personally, I have gone through the 7's, 300 Mags, etc, and I have now fallen back to the tried and true (Not that the above options aren't) 30-06. Most of my shots are well under 400 yards, I would say more than 75% are under 200 yards. the '06 is more than adequate. My wife stays under 300 yards and uses a 7mm-08. Next year I will be using my .270 just because I love the way it shoots with the 150Gr ABLR and under 3-400, still more than adequate with good shot placement, which is ALWAYS the key. That's my $.02! [/QUOTE]
