But yet they are so quick to say- "don't shoot past 201 yards because you could wound one!"

I think that the ideal elk weapon would have to be the TOW missle with a effective range of 3000 meters, tripod mounted, no recoil and so much energy they will kill a tank. Great penitration and destroys everything inside. They are loads of fun to shoot and if a loud mouth comes along to hassel you just have him stand behind it while you fire. He will vanish in a cloud of smoke. LOL

I think Boddington used a 150 Nosler partition for that bull.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Sure could have been. Its been a few years since I read the story. All I remember is, the ol .270 surprised him a bit
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

If the Creedmoor is an elk rifle, the 30-06 is a Kodiak Brown Bear cartridge. That settles that!

6.5x55 and a 9.3x62. That's why my main hunting battery I had built this past year is a 6.5x47 running 140 Part @ 2865, 140 VLD's @ 2950 and a 9.3x62 running 250 AB's @ 2606. Alan

Interesting that we don't hear the boo/boo's of "short range" hunters....... Or bow hunters. It is. I have a longbow and recall reading an article by one of the most respected traditional bowhunters out there. His standard for effective range and accuracy (if I recall correctly and I'm pretty sure I do) was that a trad bowhunter should be able to put 8 out of 10 arrows into a target the size of the vitals of a deer at his maximum range. And IMHO, making a good hit with a traditional bow, no sights, finger release, and so on is just as complicated (if not moreso) with just as many variables or things that can go wrong as as a long-range shot with a scoped modern rifle. Somehow 20% is an acceptable failure rate in that case, but not for long-range rifles.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
