[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 577767, member: 14340"] In my honest opinion............ I would think you should be good to go with a good 308 to whatever range you can make the hit ON DEAR............for elk beyond 4-500 I would want some thing with more thump.......The 308 is a great cartridge for learning, target shooting and dear. There is no cheap bulk ammo for long range elk. That is an expensive game best suited to the big 30s and 338s. Any thing can be done but for elk I would want more gun. Remember the farther out he is when you shoot the harder and longer it is to get over there and start tracking him. You want to be able to put him down hard and fast...................................Duke [/QUOTE]
