Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting rifle for elk hunt, your thoughts

Emphasis on good shot placement is critical. All the mentioned rounds will work if delivered in the proper place. Use the rifle you are most comfortable with. Be confident in your shot and enjoy your elk, like Daryl said, they are not bulletproof. Personal experience, I know the AB's will work on elk and I shot a moose w/ 165 AB's at 385 yards and they performed well on it too.
