[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 3069629, member: 73445"] Before I resume my other activities: There is no question that Elk has been taken with 22 cal bullets. I know a lady that hunts Elk in CO, she aways hunts with a 22-250. The higher caliber/velocities/energies that some either suggest or set as their own rule is not for the perfect shot. But the less than optimum. We all heard the stories of people in AK killing Brown bear with a .223. Ask any guide in Alaska if they are willing to take you on a Brown Bear guided hunt with only a .223. I have not asked, but willing to guess the answer. Long ago, I was interested in a brown bear hunt and visited the hunter extravaganza or somethng like that in Houston. Every one I asked, they suggested no less than 300WM, preferably larger, but something you shoot comfortably, accurately and can have a couple of quick follow up shots. Again, can you kill a brownie with smaller? Sure, and people have. Would you go on such a hunt with only a .223? Well that is your decision. I wouldn't. I'll be back tomorrow to see how this eveloved Cheers [/QUOTE]
