[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 721660, member: 2736"] When you add Elk to the equation I personally feel you need a bigger caliber. The 7mm SAUM or the 7mm WSM would be my minimum bore Dia. because of bullet selection. the 7mm, 308 and the 338 would all be good choices in a short mag and all have very extensave bullet selections. There can be one caliber of rifle, but for a wide range of game I like certain bullet weights for certain game. Yes the 6.5s and the 270s will kill Elk but you are limited by distance more than the larger calibers For Deer 100 to 140grain bullets are fine. for antelope need 120 to 150 grain bullets for quick kills. Black bear need 160 to 200 grain to stop them in there tracks. and Elk need 160+ grain bullets in my opinion. Look/choose a cartrige that can shoot all of these bullet weights and you won't be sorry. As someone on this site says " there is no such thing as over kill ". J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
