[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1099010, member: 84520"] Cartridge isn't as important as shot placement. An elk won't know whether a .240 Wby or a .300 Win Mag stopped its heart. My suggestion would us a heavy Partition. Personally, I'd go with a bigger rifle with a heavier bullet. A 160 grain .284 Partition will kill elk. Even a .308 Win with a 180 grain Partition will cause you a whole lot of work. Killing an elk ain't anywhere as much work as getting it out. If the .240 Wby is all you have, practice a lot & aim for heart/lungs. Nothing is long for this world sans oxygenated blood to its brain. The hunter with one rifle assuredly knows how to shoot it. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
