[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2922655, member: 29765"] At 400 yards a 6.5 Creedmoor ( :)oops: oh no, I said it :rolleyes:) would be plenty. If you have a 30-06, 308, anything of the sort you're fine. You don't need magnums to kill elk. They're more fun and they're cooler but they're not necessary. I personally shoot magnums because I can and want to. Elk aren't some magically bullet-proof animal, they are bigger than deer though. If you want/need an excuse to buy a bigger 7mm/30 cal magnum then you have that too. One of the bigger points to shooting magnums is their reach and retained velocity at longer ranges. I personally don't ever intend on owning another belted magnum. When this 28 Nosler barrel burns out, I'll put a 7mm PRC barrel on it then build a different 28 Nosler. I would at some point like to get a big 30 too, that would be a 30 Nosler or maybe a PRC.
