[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1808189, member: 78438"] Very few shots exist where one of those would work when the other one doesn't. I don't care much about the cartridge, for elk I prefer 180+ class hunting bullets (I don't want to derail this into that) with an impact velocity of 2000+ fps. Elk are tough, but they aren't elephants. It can be done with much less than that, but the above numbers will all but guarantee a dead elk with good shot placement, and from my experience, there won't be much for tracking going on. Either one of those will get you right there at the range you mentioned, as will many others. [/QUOTE]
