    308 & Elk

    I just spoke with a relative and he is working on an invite for me to go with him on an elk hunt. It's still in the very early stages, but, and I'm sure I know it will, but will the 308 be "enough gun" for these animals, or should l look at another caliber?

    Good enough! But why pass up the opportunity to buy a new one?

          Randy Newberg takes a lot of elk with the 308 and 7mm-08. Watch some of his videos online if you want to build confidence in it. Just find a good quality, accurate bullet.

              if anyone tells you that it is not enough they are not an elk hunter. You are good by a long shot with a .308. A .270 is more than enough.

                      Accubonds and Barnes are the ticket

                        My son has taken several bulls with his 308.

                            I would load up some 165-168 gr bonded bullets and get it sighted in and go with it. I started hunting elk with a 308. Worked fine but I went to a 300wsm for the flatter shooting and still load up 165-168 gr bonded bullets.

                            Hope the hunt pans out for you !

                              I would go with a 300WSM and I just happen to have one posted in the classifieds. Lol

                              I would think you will be plenty fine with a 308
