[QUOTE="Srlkllr01, post: 919021, member: 77150"] Hello fellow lead slingers over the years due to economy my once prized rifle collection has dwindled down to a mere two centerfire's,it makes me cry to say that but I'm left with a H&R heavy barrel 308 and a Serbu bull barrel 50 bmg carbine,my dilemma is I'm planning a elk hunt and have heard a lot of horror stories about using the 308 for animal's of this size not that it's not a capable round just minimal ballistics,so I was wondering do I load up for the 308 or load down for the 50 and if so what types of loads and bullet weights would you suggest to a person with no experience shooting animals of this size because I don't want to spend the money for my trip and license and not be able to capitalize on any opportunity that may arise within my own skill limits which is a self imposed 500 yards,I can keep my shots moa at that range and any help or suggestion's would be greatly appreciated.thanks to all with knowledge greater than mine, I strive to learn .
