[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 948856, member: 20657"] 22-250. Really I mean yeah theoreticly it's possible does that mean its a good idea, not really. Sure I would shoot an elk in his ear hole at 100yds with a 22-250 if all I had was a 22-250. Then again if I was say 3 yds away I would stick him with a spear or if we were in the bed of a truck together I might hit him in the head with a hammer but odds are not good on us being In a picpickup truck bed or being 3 yds away or probably not100yds. Take a look in the classified adds on here and see how may 22-250 and 243 elk hammers you see advertised. In spite of what your mom may have told you sometimes you should just do what everyone else is doing. Here is something to think on. If you were on a breech/building take down team and you had to raid a building full of bad guys and you had your choice of entry weapon 223 semi auto or 308 semi auto which one would you take?.....exactly its all about hydrostatic shock and knock down power. I choose the 308 because I want the bad guy dead right now not in 30seconds after he has shot me back. I chose 338 for elk because I want him dead right now and not in 3hours after I have chased him all over the mountain. [/QUOTE]
