[QUOTE="jhk375, post: 1865929, member: 55750"] Quite honestly, I have hunted Roosevelt elk with 30-06 and 300 Win Mag. A good friend of mine has harvested many elk with a 308 using 150 grain corelocks....he is a very good shot and hunter. In the '50s my father took a Brown Bear in Labrador, and a Polar Bear in Greenland with 180 gr factory load....single shot kills on both. Now-a-days....the thoughts are bigger, faster is better.....in reality, shot placement is what matters. Roy Weatherby like the 257 Weatherby Mag for Elk. If you are getting reasonably close (250 yards or less), and can shoot, a 30-06 with a 165 or 180 grain bonded bullet is fine. That said, you should be practicing....if you can't get 1 MOA, I would keep practicing at the range before heading to the woods. [/QUOTE]
