[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1957815, member: 14204"] Agreed! [B]"MY" [/B]unwritten rule is 1500 FT-LBS of energy on elk size game and minimum velocity for the bullet design to effectively expand at POI. Shot placement and the "NUT" behind the trigger remains the biggest factors in hunting. I understand that there are peeps out there that shoots the .308 Win at 1500+ yards on targets but to humanely harvest an elk is another story. As long as the OP keeps things within his limitations as well as his equipment's (rifle set-up/choice) effectiveness/capability then he's OK but as [USER=74426]@6x6 elk[/USER] noted, he is limiting himself. [USER=115162]@grnorthcutt[/USER], "WE" can only provide advice, what you do with it is entirely up to you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
