[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1725027, member: 26477"] The first elk I killed with a rifle was a one shot kill at 265 yards with a Nosler Partition shot from my 25-06. I think it was 115 or 117 grains. I also shot a mule deer buck at 625 yards punching both lungs and found the bullet in the far side hide totality intact without any expansion. From there I changed to Remington Core Loct 120 grain bullets and due to a too close for comfort encounter with a Grizzly on an elk hunt I changed my elk rifle to a. 338 Winchester Mag.. Forwarding on I shot elk with. 270 AI, 7mm Rem. Mag. and 300RUM. The point I am making is that shot placement will allow one to kill with almost any caliber with the appropriate bullet. However, hunting in bear country with a 30 caliber magnum or larger gives one more comfort as shot placement sometimes can't be readily available. [/QUOTE]
