[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 59356, member: 8947"] [b]Re: What\'s the minimum caliber for Caribou or Elk?[/b] For a readily availabel factory cartridge, I would suggest the 270, 7-08 and the 260Rem. Just match the bullet to the game and distance. A heavy for cal bullet like the SST will anchor any caribou and elk out to 500yds on broadside presentations. If you want the option of heavy quartering shots, then look at the partition, Barnes, or Failsafe. Killing is about getting the right damage in the right place. With the vast choices in bullets, you can match just about any cartridge to any non dangerous game. With a rifle that doesn't cause flinching, the ability to hit the mark goes up. And that is what causes the killing. Jerry [/QUOTE]
