[QUOTE="Wyo220, post: 1497559, member: 72237"] Having seen less than great results from 6.5 140 class bullets on elk I am a firm beliver that .284 160 class bullets are minimum for elk. I have guided 8 elk hunts so far this year. 7 cows and a bull. Shots from 30 yards to 1070 yards. The only ones I had to clean up were less than 7mm. Having personaly seen 50 plus elk die in the last few years my minimum is .308 200 gr class bullets. If the hunter cant handle that much rifle for what ever reason, get as close as possible and run lungs or pass the shot. My experience yours may differ. Kyle [/QUOTE]
