Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Standard Cartridges for Elk

Nothing personal intended just asking a question.
As a matter of fact I don't think any of those would be overkill. I don't buy into ovekill under kill theories.
If a person did buy into that stuff then you'ld have to believe that none of the straightwalled handgun cartridges are adequate for killing game, and that would bring a huge uproar from folks that use the 44 mag and hot loaded 45 colts (myself included)
I also don't see the benefits of using a belted 30 unless a person moves up into the 200 gr+ bullets where the real advantages for those cartridges really lives.
