[QUOTE="Mattt, post: 4556911, member: 16934"] 06 with 180 gr partition or accubond. Usually not hard to get them to shoot either. The 7mm/160gr mentioned above is a good combo. 7mm/08 with 140 gr accubonds or partitions is a good choice also. Obviously the 300 will do a little more than the others. Doesn't matter what caliber if u can't shoot it. If 300 yds is what you are comfortable with don't shoot any further. I have seen a lot of elk hit the ground.have seen them run 2 miles after a good shot with a big caliber, have seen them drop in their tracks from a .264 at a little over 300yds. I believe they don't bleed as much because of the larger body and most people hit them higher in the vitals and the blood stays in the body longer. [/QUOTE]
