[QUOTE="Antonio m, post: 1306043, member: 96191"] I once killed three elk with my pickup truck at 40 mile per hour and I was breaking hard. There wasn't even an open wound. I didn't even aim! I have also killed bull elk with a 22/250 and did aim -all died instantly. My point is there is no hard and fast rules but taking careful aim and using a great bullet smaller the a Nissan Titan just might be ideal. I use a .270 win (or similar)and a great bullet is a fine choice and a good compromise,imo. The chambering is less important than using a premium,non fracturing bullet that will go through muscle ,bone etc on a testosterone filled herd bull elk. Muzzle energy is a term that is over considered and the term "knockdown" is semantics,imo. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
