[QUOTE="JemezDave, post: 1528223, member: 108070"] I would suppose a .243 is legal in some states for elk and think it is here in NM. Minimum cal. In Colorado I think is .270. Point is that in terms of killing power the Creedmoor is more at the shallow end. Game departments make these judgments based on results they’ve seen in terms of performance. I’ve killed many elk in my life with a.270 using 130-140 grain bullets. I would not want to push that caliber past 450 yards maybe 500 under the best circumstances on elk. I stepped up to a .300WM recently for improved performance and range on elk OP I applaud you for taking your son hunting. I took both of my daughters elk hunting but neither really took to it. Do you think she could handle a heavier caliber with a muzzle brake? Aside from that it would seem that reducing her range limit would be advisable from a caliber standpoint or bullet change to a mono if your set on keeping the creed. [/QUOTE]
