[QUOTE="wonderman4, post: 1957899, member: 72101"] I have witnessed elk slain with a multitude of calibers. One of my buds shot a great 6x6 with his 338 Win Mag. First shot, the elk never reacted to the hit at all and it was an excellent shot. Second shot flipped him. I have witnessed a kill with a 243 Win and knocked it down and it never got up. A buddy of mine killed a nilgai with one shot behind the ear.....222 Rem. Get your 308 Win with a good bullet (I like the accubonds a lot, also the cutting edge bullets are great), practice a lot, then go on your elk hunt with the confidence knowing that you have a **** good cartridge to do it with. Granted elk are tough critters, but what you have is completely do able. [/QUOTE]
