[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 2821495, member: 14169"] You can kill an elk with a .22 and I wager there have been a lot of elk killed with that cartridge. Is it what I would use on a once in a lifetime hunt? No. I subscribe to the bigger, faster is better idea when it comes to elk. Don't know how many I have taken over the years but I will always believe that you owe to the elk to kill them cleanly and as immediately as you can. I started with my 30-06 then a 300WM, then a 300 Ultra Mag and I now shoot a custom 338 Edge. The Edge shoot 285 Barnes LRX into very small groups and the recoil is quite manageable. As should be, accuracy is the most important part of hunting elk. I don't care what you are shooting, a poor shot will not lead to a desirable ending. Just my two cents and as usual, your mileage may vary. Happy hunting and good luck! [/QUOTE]
