Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting .260 Remington as an Elk round???

I've killed two elk with the .260, 130gr Berger Hunting VLD. One six point bull at 125 yards, and one cow at 700 yards. They were broadside lung shots, both shots passed through, both critters went less than 25 yards. Have seen eight other elk taken with that round with good results as well. It reminds me a lot of the 9 elk I've killed with a .270. It's like anything else, make good shots, sharpen your knife, make poor shots, put on your tracking boots....
