[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2821476, member: 55998"] I am a firm believer in 30 caliber for elk. Since living in Colorado I have taken 17 elk (mostly meat cows) using 30-06 and 300 WM. As noted above you can kill one with a 223 (not legally here in Colorado). But if you’re spending your time and money chasing a wonderful animal, show him the respect of a hopefully quick humane death by using enough gun. IME&O you are making a wise decision stepping up to a 7mm. Use a tough heavy for caliber bullet that can get good expansion and penetration. You don’t always have a perfect shot when a trophy shows up. IME it is often a quartering opportunity. Best of luck in your pursuit! After the experience, you will likely be addicted to chasing elk.
