[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1525768, member: 75779"] I would add that even if you won't shoot beyond 400 yards, things change. Limiting yourself is fine from an ethical perspective. The gun limiting you is unacceptable. For elk, I'd say have enough KO power to 600. If you don't use it, no harm. If you do need it and don't have it, then tag soup is on the menu. My guide told us to be prepared to shoot 300 yards. Most of the elk were shot between 350-500 yards. I'll add the 308 or '06 are perfectly fine for the distance mentioned. There's zero need to get exotic with cartridges at this point. [/QUOTE]
