[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1552736"] I think anyone with experience with standard and magnum calibers would completely agree with your sentiment about any NEED for a magnum or larger caliber, to do this job. I just wanted to clarify that for myself, the extra 200-300fps for a 270, 7mm or 30 cal magnum, goes into the energy levels you mention as a factor to consider, if someone is asking for, broadly, an ideal elk cartridge. In CO, the laws states a need for at least 1000 ftlb at 100 yards. For long range hunting, a magnum velocity places you well into those margins of energy. [/QUOTE]
