If i was going to use my 300 AAC for Elk i would hunt them just like i was using one of my Pistols or Bows. The Blackout is very close to the 30-30, but with less bullet weight . Would i hunt Elk with the Blackout, yes if i didn't have anything else and depending on where i was hunting them. The Blackout in my opinion is the ultimate urban Combat round in the AR Platform and for hunting, Whitetail deer size game is where you should stop. Elk aren't bullet proof tho and any decent bullet in the lungs and they die quick regardless of the rifle or cartridge the bullet came from. If using the 300 AAC, hunt in close or pistol range and shoot straight . I consider the 300 AAC a pistol round in the AR Platform .


A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
