[QUOTE="Bobkat, post: 365732, member: 8010"] Yep. Lots of critters have been bang flopped with rifles in the .25 class, down to 6mm or .243, though I wouldn’t recommend anything that small for an average adult, anyway. We hunters, especially handloaders nowadays pore over bore size, mv, bullet weights, sd, ogivies, rifling, powder burning weight, and way overthink the nuances that for a practical point of view make little or such a tiny difference at the animals business end of the equation. Like the experienced older timers on here all say, don’t worry about it so much, just pick a reasonable caliber, a dependable rifle, and a good scope and practice, practice, practice! Don’t think you must be able to hit a dime at 500 yards in order and to kill an elk with a boiler room as big as a 50 gallon barrel. Most elk are shot under 200 yards, over 3-400-500 less common but doable as many of us have proven. Medical advice here - as important as the rifle,concentrating on getting in good shape IMHO is almost more important than anything else. Running up a hill with a pack, chest. Heaving, heart racing, excitement driving adrenaline levels to skyrocket, etc. my guide friends all say that far more animals are missed because of this one factor than any other thing! [/QUOTE]
