[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2496677, member: 19988"] Yes sir. Totally agree. I have heard people saying it take 2000 lbs of kinetic energy to kill a elk. That’s why they shoot a 300 WM and don’t shoot past 300 yards. Thank about it. If it takes 2000 lbs of kinetic energy to drop a elk, why is it you need a 300 WM. Look at the old trusty 30-30 Winchester. Hornady s 140 grain MonoFlex. bullet is designed for medium game 50-300 lbs or large game from 300-1500 lbs. Elk definitely fall in that weight range. I would say a 30-30 is good for a max distance of 150-200 yards. [/QUOTE]
