[QUOTE="marvee, post: 972797, member: 77582"] been reading all these posts, interesting they are. from north central Idaho hunting up in high country for several years until the wolves took over, i used the old 30-06 with 165 gr grand slams. killed many elk with that gun and never took over a 200 yard shot. did not need to. always worked my way to a better shot or the next day. either lung shot them or head shot them. later years after wolves screwed up my high country hunting i hunted closer to home and used my 6.5x55 swede. so far killed everything by head shot. 140 gr federals. very accurate rifle, model 38 sporterized. now built a 6.5x300 win mag for wolve hunting in high country now that they are treated like coyotes. hunted year around. also starting a new project 6.5x55 AI with a Gem Tech suppressor. probably use it for about anything that is hairy. bottom line get comfortable with caliber,bullet,and gun. practice often and remember be yourself as to what works for you and not what everybody else says works for them. the gun is the final piece of the hunt. there is more to getting elk than a big gun and long ranges. happy hunting [/QUOTE]
