[QUOTE="Dirtrax, post: 1533188, member: 78945"] I don’t know how many of the folks posting here have actually been up close and personal with Elk on a regular basis. They pass through my yard a few times a year and when things work out they pass through my crosshairs in the woods. Like any game under the right circumstances they can be probably harvested with just about any cartridge. A 6.5 WM is not a 6.5 Creedmoor period. Neither would be my choice but a 180gr 7mm or 180gr “anything else” or bigger sounds about right. They have an incredible will to live and the best of us will find ourselves eventually tracking an animal with a well placed shot from an “adequate” cartridge. I’m not in a position to say what is enough gun, but I have passed on several opportunities that weren’t just quite right with plenty of firepower. I guess my point is if you don’t fully understand and respect your quarry stick to paper and steel. [/QUOTE]
