    There are Multiple BEST ELK Caliber's ! Prob Easier to argue -discuss POLITIC's then these ! BUT in saying that its hard to BEAT the 28 + calibers with 160-250 gr bullets to PUT them down ! jmo RJ

    I'm going use my 300 PRC this year in the Koot's with a 200 gr Accubond !

    It shoots Plenty Flat enought for " Ethical Distance " Kills and the Accubond bullet is HARD to Beat for Expansion and Penetration ! 200 gr NAB will carry 1800 FPS to 800 yards ! jmo RJ

    It's more like .524 unless you work for Nosler's marketing dept. It won't matter, RJ won't get one anyway

    Its wind drift at range more than flat shooting that counts ...

    As RJ says . . . many 'best' elk calibers.
    In G-bear country, the potent .30's or .338 would be a good choice.
    Just an opinion . . .
