[QUOTE="Tidus56, post: 1546828, member: 104495"] Here is my last thought for this thread. When choosing a dedicated Elk cartridge going to a magnum makes sense. You will have retained energy at the target and more likely get a clean kill with no issue. Personally I have seen taken or taken elk with lesser energy cartridges. I have used .270 Win, 6.5 Creed, 243 AI and a 280 AI to take cow elk. All these cartridges can do it just fine so long as your bullet choice and distance works out. Shot placement, bullet choice and hunting skills trump big bullet and big cartridge. Just my experiences. [/QUOTE]
