RE: Caliber for Elk/Bear/Elephant/JabbatheHut
 

That's really doing a good job of putting words in my mouth, why don't you say I vote for Hillary while you're at it?

I didn't say a person should shoot the biggest gun he can find, I said he should shoot the biggest rifle he can shoot well.

Most states allow the 243 as the minimum for all big game, if folks choose to use it, which I would not, then many will do so. If a caliber is not adequate its partly the fault of the state.

Here in TN, it used to be that the .243 was the minimum, but now, it's any centerfire cartridge, it can be used on big game, which is deer and hogs, but once the elk populations become much more huntable, if they ever do in 20 years, they'll have to put back the ole' .243 limit again, I bet, 'cause they sure as heck don't want people chasing elk around with a .204 Ruger.
