Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 6.5X55 for elk

Sorry, as one of the token Scandinavians here, I just have to do a little correction!

We call them �lg -- and that "a with two dots over it" is a different letter of the alphabet, unpronounceable to most of you without practice unless you are born here!

They are the same thing as the moose found in North America Alces alces (although a different subspecies).

Try http://translate.google.com/#sv|en|�lg

it comes out Elk in English.

Google can translate it as zebra if they want, but that does not make it so.

All but the .300 wsm are somewhat iffy... Elk are tougher to drop than moose much of the time. Would recommend something larger, but what your asking has been done before more than once. I say go for it!
