How many elk have you killed?

I have killed more than a few Elk in all types of terrain and can say that the Creedmoor will prove to be much too light as an all-round Elk cartridge. A modern 6.5x55 SE outperforms the CM with the heavier bullets and that one is too light as well.
All things considered, I believe a .284 Magnum cartridge and up is where it's at. A 338-06, .35 Whelen or 9.3x62 with the right bullets are near perfect and will never let you down at the terminal end. They are elite examples of Elk cartridges at nominal hunting ranges IMHO. Just another 2 cents worth.

When applied by competent people,with the right intent, common sense goes along wayt
