[QUOTE="Stevewix, post: 183568, member: 10174"] I've taken a lot of Elk with a .300 Win Mag, never past 500 yards. The 400+ yarders usually take a few shots to kill, but never seem to go more than 20 yards. I'd say for one go-to rifle, buy one that you can find ammo for in case you leave yours at home and need to stop into a mom n pop store to buy a box. Next season I plan on bringing the .270-300 Win Mag and the .338 Edge so I've got a choice. Elk are hard to kill no matter what, I've only killed a few that dropped without taking a step. It takes a strong lung shot if you aren't shooting spines no matter what the chambering! [/QUOTE]
