[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 1528424, member: 89164"] Haven't used a 208 on an elk. But I shot the 140gr Amax out of a 6.5x284 on deer and it was devastating. Shot 5 whitetail deer with 168gr Amax with my .308 and only one ran (hit through the lungs) and he made it about 30 yards, chest cavity was jelly. Only had one where the bullet did not pass through and it was lodged into the offside shoulder. Shot a red stag spike with the same .308 168gr Amax from 70 yards. I tucked it in right behind his shoulder. He barely flinched, turned away from me... and tipped over. I'm sure that a bullet nearly 25% heavier and going 15% faster will do just fine on elk and most definitely deer as long as your shot placement is good. [/QUOTE]
