[QUOTE="Mahikilr, post: 816968, member: 51823"] That everyone likes to debate and criticize what is the proper caliber to hunt elk with. An elk can be killed with just about anything and I feel that has been proven. I don't believe that you can overkill an animal but I do believe that you can under kill one. If you gave someone the choice of having an animal that is wounded or one that is dead everyone would choose the latter. Heavy high quality bullets pushed at higher speeds transfer more energy and can help dispatch an animal whenever a mistake happens. I guess the point I'm making is I don't understand why people would purposefully try and push the boundaries of taking game with a smaller round. If you do not have a physical issue shoot the biggest round you can shoot confidently. [/QUOTE]
