[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1697578, member: 13632"] The key to easy elk killing is to shoot them through the lungs, elk don't travel far with popped lungs and loosing blood. Shooting them up the butt or through the shoulders trying to reach vitals just don't work well with anything with normal cals and chamberings you see, you can kill every elk in MT well with a 6.5 with a decent bullet through the lungs that opens and hits the of side, try to blow out shoulders I have seen everything below a 338 RUM fail to penetrate an elk shoulder, the heaviest 230 Berger I have not seen fail but I have seen numbers of the 180 Accubond fail, elk are easy to kill if you just shoot for the vitals, if you can't do that pack heavy and shoot heavy!!
