[QUOTE="Teknys, post: 1529450, member: 22695"] As one of the guys that live out west (Idaho), Yes most of the guns I see used for Elk are the same as the deer rifles, 243W up to 30 cals. 260 Rem from my 12y son at the time was bang - flop on a 6pt Bull. I will say this - There are 2 kinds of ELK.... BIG Bulls and then the rest. When I hunt bulls I use my 300WSM with 180PT or 200AB, Cows - what ever strikes me that year. Do not need a large caliper to take a standing cow when you can wait for the shot. You will see hundreds of cows between seeing a large bull measured sometimes in years on public land so when it's game on for a bull - use enough to take the shoulder if needed. 6.5 caliper of Creedmoor, Rem or Norma - Just use the appropriate bullet.
