Coyote: No disrespect...but a varmint bullet in the neck is probably the worst place you could shoot an elk. Their necks are massive, and have a lot of muscle. Unless you got lucky and happened to hit them in the spine, you are going to wound it for sure. I was with a guy that shot a mulie in the neck with a 7 mag. It missed the arteries, and spine, and poked a mean hole all the way through in the meat. The deer made it about a mile before we found him and finished him off. He was still standing with his head down.
The 22-250 is a perfect coyote gun.
