[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1468655, member: 75779"] What you can do and should do are very different things in most situations. The 300 has more authority without question and a superb elk cartridge. Most folks consider the 270 a minimum. Bullet diameter (combined with speed) makes a huge difference in energy transfer/trauma. That's why energy tables are somewhat misleading. I wouldn't want to have any question about the abilities of my equipment or self at the moment of truth. 2-3-4 hundred, most any '06, 308, 270 will do fine with proper bullet selected. 400+ there are better choices IMO. Last fall in elk camp, there were many 400+ shots and most guys didn't have skill to make them count. [/QUOTE]
