[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1957956, member: 26077"] Okay, so for all you guys that say a 308 doesn't have enough velocity at or over 400 yards, how many elk have you actually shot or been present for. In all the ones I have shot personally and all the ones I have been present for for friends or clients, we have rarely recovered the bullet. The ones I recall that were shot with a 308 we only recovered one bullet. Wound channel makes it clear the bullets expanded, so if all the shots are already pass throughs, and you can't teach the bullet to turn around and go back through, what is the magic of an even faster pass through? It is not Muzzle Energy that kills, it is the hole, period. As long as the hole is in the right place, dead animal. Put the hole in the wrong place, then it doesn't matter how big the gun is.
