[QUOTE="Westernhunter6, post: 1957904, member: 89715"] The elk will know the difference in what your using when a bullet doesn’t expand. Haha I’m just poking fun. The 308 is a great caliber. There’s no denying that. But 500 yards is just too far for a 16” barreled 308 on an elk. 2800fps out of a 16” barrel just isnt realistic with factory ammo. Even with superformance. And yes, most shots are under 300 yards, but it’s not rare for shots to extend beyond that. As long as people understand the ethical limits of their equipment and abilities, it’s all good. But some of these comments are a little worrisome. [/QUOTE]
