[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 421302, member: 8"] I'd question whether the Berger 168 has either the toughness or sectional density for a large elk. I would much prefer a SMK, Accubond, or Partition. I would want at least a 175 SMK and then everything would depend on my belief that I could make a shot that would miss the heavy shoulder bones. A 308 is fine as long as you stay within the range and bullet construction limits of the cartridge Murphy's Law always applies when one relies on optimism rather than reality. [/QUOTE]
