Considering the expense and effort involved, if I were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to hunt elk, I'd be inclined not to risk a marginal choice of rifle and load.
If, on the other hand I had elk in my backyard and tags could be had with little effort, I'd feel a bit more casual about it.
Pappy, Although not in my back yard, but I have elk fairly close and I'm no casual about what I use.I was using a 295 gr conical,but stepped up to 348 gr i nmy 50 cals
