    2018 elk...

    Got this 5X5 on Saturday afternoon. Bugled him in to 50 meters and shot him through the lungs
    with the .338 Win Mag. Still ran for some 200 meters before dying.
    Man those elk are tough!!

    To close for that rifle, Maybe , like some guys on here think that maybe you need a bigger gun !!! LOL.
    The magnum rifle was developed for shooting out past 500 yards. I have taken all my elk with a 30/06 with no problems with them running more that 30 yards !! My grandson has taken elk with his 6.5x55 at 200 yard plus with no problems at all, run maybe 50 yards at the most !!!
