[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 2129115, member: 15399"] You’ve chosen wisely. The 30-06 is one of the most versatile cartridges this country has. The big magnums, like the 300 and 338, basically just add range. The old 06 will kill elk out to 500 yards with no problem, and typically leave a good blood trail. Elk are big, long-haired animals and that blood trail can be very important to your finding your elk. 270s and smaller diameter calibers are not the ticket in my opinion. They will certainly kill elk, but may cost you when it comes to finding the animal. You’ve chosen the best cartridge in this country for killing AND finding an elk for the average person who may not comfortably shoot one of the big magnums. Enjoy!!! [/QUOTE]
