I really like the 308 bore myself. Always seemed to me that it was superior to smaller bores for some things, like blood trails for instance. That said if you are hunting in the open it really doesn't matter much if the animal runs 30 yards or 150 yards it will still be easy to find generally. For an in the timber elk load a 200 grain partition going 2400fps or so is a fine combination for the bigger stuff.
