I've killed a few elk with the 308 Win in a Savage 99 and a couple Kimber Montana. The 99 loves 165 grain Speer Grand Slams. The Montanas like the Hornady 150 grain GMX. Both work well for elk. The Montanas also like the 130 grain TTSX. Not sure I'd try them on elk though.

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
