There are a lot of game regulations across the country that have little to do with conventional wisdom.

Here in Montana there are no caliber (or cartridge) restrictions for hunting big game animals. You could use a .22 short and be legal, but that doesn't make a .22 rimfire an elk cartridge.

I have several friends that have killed a pile of elk and even a few buffalo with their .22-250's and .220 Swift shooting 52 and 55 grain bullets, but that also doesn't make me think that those are good elk cartridges.
