[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1212630, member: 7999"] The smallest that I have used on elk is a 110g mono from a 6.5-06 at 550y. Bullet did just fine. Elk did not really know that he had been hit he just fell over after three. I think that shot really was a push but lungs were a mess so no complaints. Many elk have been taken with .243. So IMO you can certainly hunt elk with a great quality bullet and keep the shot to about 300y or less. What twist is your barrel? I believe we have a bullet that you can do the job with and have your load development done inside 20 rounds Far less than a new rifle and optics. Steve [/QUOTE]
