[QUOTE="sceeder, post: 815646, member: 44588"] I've been on five elk hunts and killed four elk. I used a 30-06 with 200gr nosler partitions. The very first elk I killed was at 450 yards. All elk but one died 20 yards from where I shot them. My cousin has been a guide in Montana for the last 30 years and just recently retired. All those years he used a pre 64 mod. 70 257 Roberts and harvested an elk every year. This year if I draw I'm going to use my new savage light weight hunter in a 7mm08. It only weighs 6 lbs. with the scope. Much easier than carrying my Weatherby's. Great question and discussion. Number one concern in all of this is, always, bullet placement. Be sure of your shot. And remember when shooting uphill or down hill aim low. [/QUOTE]
