[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 452506, member: 23575"] Over the years I have killed a few elk ,all lung area hits with the 270, 308 Norma Mag, and 340 Weatherby. None went over 50 yards after being shot, but for any game animal I would rather be over gunned than under so the 340 wouid be used, it hits harder. For mule deer, I have made clean kills using the 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 257 Roberts, 25-06 Rem, 264 Win Mag, 270 Win and 308 Norma Mag. The only animal lost was a pronghorn shot with the 308 Norma Mag. It ran over a hill, never did find it but that was do to poor shot placement. A 165 Gr bullet out of the 308 Norma Mag will hit plenty hard for shooting pronghorn and mule deer ,but they must be hit in a vital area. [/QUOTE]
