[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1552932, member: 75451"] Without a doubt, elk in timber can be “cleanly” taken with sub-27 caliber cartridges, however.....a 9 pound or lighter, 30+ caliber is also effective. For those that hunt mixed terrain ( our shots can range from under 30 yards, to 500+ in the same day)....it’s nice to have a “bit” larger caliber. We can be hunting dense timber, and occasionally see the open slope on the opposing ridge....offering those 400 + yard shots! And, with the somewhat higher velocities offered by the 30 + caliber magnums....they offer a nice option! Provided the hunter can accurately shoot the larger bore, higher velocity cartridge! memtb [/QUOTE]
