[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 1947925, member: 18206"] I use nothing but Remington Core-lokt 165 grainers for hunting elk. I don't reload my hunting rounds because I bought a bunch of ammo when the boxes were $6.99 a box and still have about 200 rounds. My longest elk kill was 438 yards, using a model 110C Savage pre-accutrigger. I was using a 165 grain bullet. At that distance it had more than 1900 pounds of energy. A 308 will probably be 100 pounds of energy less. I would venture to say that the 06 will easily go 550 to 600 yards on elk. No scientific data on my part but this has been my caliber all of my life since I was 10 years old and I am now collecting Social Security. If you are recoil sensitive go with 308. [/QUOTE]
