If I ever draw again (by far the hardest part of elk hunting) I'll be leaving the 30-06 at home and taking one of my 6.5 Creedmoors w/140gr bullets. They are super accurate, easy to shoot, mild on recoil and pack plenty of punch to kill any elk I have ever seen.
Although there are many people who state that the Creedmoor is not nearly enough for elk, there are far too many elk and moose shot with one shot kills that refute that! With the right bullets it will work perfectly, but then, in the wrong hands a 375H&H is not enough! LOL Cat
270 Win with 150g Partitions or A-Frames works just fine too

Chuck
