[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 522608, member: 22242"] I agree, I have killed elk out to 550 with my 7mm using 160 partitions with no problems but long range elk is the reason I built a 338 Lapua. you wont regret going bigger but you may regret going too small. elk are TOUGH plain and simple seems like they can run faster on 3 legs than they can 2. This last season I shot a cow elk straight on in the chest at about 200 yards with my 25-06 and again behind the shoulder when she spun around to leave tons of blood but the trail dried up and i found her across the canyon walking down the ridge. long story shot i put a lot of well placed holes in her and her will to live superseded science. I dont thing you would regret a 338 rum or the likes, possibly a 300 wby and up. just keep in mind you want the horse power to crush bones not just punch through ribs [/QUOTE]
