[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 108603, member: 3373"] There is no winning the caliber debate. Always a personal choice. One thing that never changes for caliber is the question "What if I need to buy ammo at the local sports shop. Is it likely to be available?" If you reload I would guess you could just about always develop an accurate load. So that question is answered. For killing elk? They have a reputation of being a very tough animal. My limited experience is that with a shot placed where you aimed (a good killing shot), they are not as tough as there reputation. With a shot not placed in a location of desire, like all animals, you are going to need some tracking skills. The lesson learned should be "Shoot a gun you can shoot very accurately instead of trying to make up for inaccuracy with a bigger kick." Good luck on your hunt. [/QUOTE]
