[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 519666, member: 23070"] a 416 maybe if your planning on breaking your shoulder everytime you pull the trigger. The 416 is meant to be shot once and once only. At the game. If you had to sight in you wont shoot for a week. The 416 isn't needed on elk as for it is classified under African dangerous game cartridge. My suggestion is starting with something that shoots flat and hits hard. I shoot a 7mm rem mag with 160 grain accubond and a 300. wsm shooting 180 grain accubond. My suggestions would be something like a 300. wsm or win mag. Very versatile and can be used up close and personal on anything or way out there and touch them far. If you wanted a larger caliber then strongly take a look at the 300. RUM and you can take that and move up to a 338 edge. [/QUOTE]
