[QUOTE="6x6 elk, post: 1957750, member: 74426"] You’re going on your first elk hunt, and you’re limiting yourself on your range with your rifle, why would you do that? The 308 is a minimal round for elk, and you’re reducing your velocity by going to a shorter barrel and using factory ammunition. I personally would move up to at least a 300 WSM or larger,With at least a 24 inch barrel. Elk are tough animals, You don’t want them wandering off into a deep canyon or get into a spot where you can’t get them out. Use as much gun as you can comfortably shoot. This is just my opinion, I know many elk been killed with 243‘s and 257 Roberts. [/QUOTE]
