[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 1836105, member: 112792"] The 243 Winchester is legal in many states for Elk, but you need to know your range and have a broadside shot though both lungs for it to work. That being said most rifles used for Deer will work on Elk, again depending the range and conditions. If you want to have one rifle to use for both, it's hard to beat 308 Winchester for most conditions. If you want just an Elk Rifle the 284 cal. or 30 cal. will all get the job done and as will the 338 Mag but with more "Boom". I use a 264 Winchester Mag. loaded 160 Matrix Bullets and can cover anything out to 400 yard, but my longest shot to date is just over 225 yards. I feel it better to shoot a rifle that you are comfortable with and you can wait for a broadside shot or pass if not. [/QUOTE]
