[QUOTE="Almondgrower, post: 1495183, member: 106582"] Echo ( there are lots of calibers that are supirior ballistics to the .308) however , .308 will get it done . Choose your bullet , get the minimum valocity for proper bullet expansion from bullet manufacturer then create a ballistic chart . Use those guidelines of the chart to find minimum valocity to find your max range to shoot big game ( or you max you feel comfortable shooting ) . I like to keep foot pounds of energy minimum to 1000-1500 on Deer and 2000 on elk . I like to check that info to create a max to shoot for the given combination of gun, bullet & valocity. I take my kimber mountain accent .308 in the woods walking for Deer and elk as it’s the lightest gun I could find . In big open country for elk I’ll take a magnum .30 cal [/QUOTE]
