[QUOTE="180ls1, post: 2942939, member: 123886"] In my book, a dedicated elk gun should be .284 on up. I'd go 300wsm for more frontal area even if you give up some BC. I've personally killed about 10 of them and am "done" with anything smaller than 30 cal. Although I'd gladly hunt with a .284 (I used a .264 on my bull last year) if that's what I had. Since you are building new and don't have the gun yet, move up from 6.5 and 6.8. [/QUOTE]
