[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1611180, member: 9299"] Yes, they can kill an elk, but they can also cause tragic wounds in the wrong hands and in less than ideal conditions. I've seen and helped track elk hit with larger calibers that took sometime to die, and in at least one case, I watched a tough bull run away after taking a couple of 180's from a 300Win to the lungs. Granted they were the old factory Win PSP, but that was what the guy was sold for elk loads. Point being, a few kills with smaller calibers in capable and cautious hands does not grant status. Many elephants have fallen to the 303 Brit, but I would not label it an "elephant gun". YMMV [/QUOTE]
