[QUOTE="Navaluk, post: 953103, member: 74304"] I shoot the largest most powerful cartridge I have that will be effective for the average range of where I'm hunting. I don't believe in the common young American, "how small can I get by with so I look cool" approach. To much like the Inuit for me shooting muskox and caribou with 222 or 223. Strikes me as stupid stunt territory but your opinion may well differ. For under 400 yards, an accurate 30-06 with a 180, is probably close to an ideal blend of hitting power, with not too much kick in a light rifle. Honestly if you can't get within 400 yards of an elk your almost certainly not trying very hard. Good luck [/QUOTE]
