[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1710094, member: 20780"] Yes Elk are tough animals but if it was me I would carry the rifle I shot the best, here in Western Wyoming a lot of both Elk and Moose are killed cleanly with the .243 Winchester and the lowly .30-30, there is no real need to shoot long range unless you feel you need to. The .25-06, 30-06, 7-08, 7x57, 6.5x55,.280,.270 .308 and so on, then if one feels under gunned the .264 @ 7mag will work wonders. Be careful not to over gun yourself. If you hunt whitetails back home, that rifle will work here on Elk as long as you keep your range conservative and your shot placement is spot on. In the words of Eugene Stoner, "Killing power has to do with three things, these three things are , #1-shot placement, #2- shot placement, and #3- is shot placement, and I will had bullet performance. A solid hit in the vitals from a .243 is much better than a marginal hit from a .300 WSM or other magnum cartridge. [/QUOTE]
