Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 22-250 and Elk

JoeMama -

While I would never choose a .22-250 for elk, I can see how they could easily be taken with one. A varmint bullet in the neck would moslt likely do the trick rather quickly, as would a TSX or Trophy Bonded behind the ear.

Not every hunter will take a THS as a first shot, but wound one and it may be the only second shot you get.

Like you, and I've been hunting elk since 1982, I would be very comfortable with a 30-30 or 6.5X55 or 270.
