[QUOTE="T.Ranger, post: 1550983, member: 106026"] I have had the good luck to shoot many bull elk as well as a few cows. some were very close while others were up to 400 yards. When hit well they all fell and stayed down. For the longer range shots I used a 7mm rem, mag with 162 gr Nosler bullets. The rest were shot with 270 win. 338 win mag, 300 H&H, 280 rem. the total was 28 bulls and 6 cows. I never lost an elk. Get a gun that fits you well, avoid a gun that needs a muzzle brake if possible. learn to shoot it like you would a 22cal. When under a 100 yards I try to place a shot about 10 inches down from the elks ear. One big bull so hit ran forty yards hit with a 270 and a bullet that didn't open as fast as it should have. Its not really the gun its getting to be a sharp shooter with whatever gun you have. Hope this helps. Good luck from Canada. [/QUOTE]
