Hello,
On a Remington 700 forum a question was asked about what was the best Elk caliber. Now it opened up a can of worms but one member advised if you use anything less than a 270 winchester for elk you are a "nimrod" and of course that started a interesting argument with many people. What are your caliber range of Elk? I felt the smallest I would go would be a 25-06 as long as I placed the projectile where it needed to go and biggest I would go would be some sort of 45 cal stuff like 458 Win Mag would my max but thats just me. I feel like the golden range for me would be a 264 Win Mag/6.5 PRC or similar up to 350 Rem Mag/35 Whelen for elk. Love to see your input on the subject.
