[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1617198, member: 107141"] Very good insight from all! I hunt Colorado now and my wife and I have hunted here since 1993. Together we have harvested approximately 40 Elk. Most via Archery! I agree, shot placement and accuracy are of the utmost importance. Yes, a 30-06 can and does harvest Elk at 500 yards with app 1250 ft-lbs of energy and a very good shot placement. However, if you are off on the placement the Elk might not evidence a noticeable impact. I have found several Elk that were not recovered after being hit at distances of 500 + yards. The 300 Wby has approximately 2500 ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards! This gives a greater margin of error. [/QUOTE]
