[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1736289, member: 109113"] Guys "think" what they want to think. They also seem to think a lot of things that are not based on any real-life experience. My real life experience with the 30-06, shooting bullets of 150 grains at about 3000 fps, tells me that this is enough juice to turn out the lights on an elk - because I've done it. If your 3000 fps/150 grain package has a different bullet diameter, it will still have the same amount of killing power. The bonus you're getting is that it will maintain that to longer range than the larger diameter bullet of the '06. So, even though I haven't done it, I would expect it to work just as well as the 30-06 has worked for decades. I think it all boils down to how well a guy can shoot, and if you hit them where there's a lot of important plumbing, the elk will come home with the hunter. [/QUOTE]
