Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting What do you consider minimum cartridge for elk?

I would not choose to use anything smaller or less capable than a .25-06 / 120 gr. for hunting elk. The various 6.5mms, .270 and light 7mms seem more sensible minimums to me. I've shot a bunch of elk with .308 and bigger, but not many with smaller calibers.
