Didn't mean to get something started. The two calibers I was asking about we looked at, at our local gun shop. Haven't really got our heart set on nothing yet. Those was the ones they had at the time. The Elk are in Kentucky and shots will not be over 200 yards for sure. Been within 50 yards many times. Wanting to pick a caliber that will also be a good whitetail gun after this, and maybe Elk again someday.
