[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1552819, member: 104437"] I realize they are not real popular, as, they are not .30 cal or above, but you forgot to mention, the .270 Weatherby and the .270 WSM's, in your Ranking. Those Cartridge's, have probably killed more than, a few Elk, as has, the .270 Win. which is plenty adequate at, any "reasonable" range ! IMO, quite a few Elk have been shot/killed with, the .270, .280, 7mm-08, etc. "class" of cartridges, by "Hunters", using light weight Rifles (under, 8-9 Pounds). again JMHO While I believe that, the .243 Win, will kill Elk, I personally, wouldn't recommend it, to any but, the most experienced hunters that can place a well constructed Bullet, exactly where it needs to go and knows it's limitation's !. So Elk Cartridge's, start at, .270 Win., in MY opinion. ANY of the .270's develop, quite a bit of Power/penetration with, a 140-160 grain, bullet and probably, should NOT be "Ranked" with, the .25-06 ! [/QUOTE]
