Can 308 do everything you need a rifle to do under 600 yards?

[QUOTE="Guns416, post: 2119342, member: 109673"] Everyone is talking about shooting elk out to 600 yards for elk. I was helping a disabled veteran a couple years ago and he was using the 308. We got him on a cow elk at 125 yards. He was shooting federal premium ammo. That bullet did not exit that elk. He shot it right behind the shoulders through the lungs and killed it but there was no exit wound. I would be very very carefulAbout shooting an elk at 600 yards with a 308. My minimum gun for hunting big elk is a 300 Winchester. I would much rather be over gunned than underground and wounding an animal. [/QUOTE]
