( and includes other rounds with similar power) My default has been .308 ( which is 80 ft/ sec slower than .30-06 in factory loads and prob 150fps slower in handloads). This means in factory loads the .308 hits the same as the ‘06 - if the .308 is a little closer range.. but we now have loads like hornady superformance (150gr@3000fps in .308) that blur these lines. We’ve only shot a couple elk with .308, but results have been great. Pick any cartridge in that class of power, but pick something where ammo is common and available- so prob .270, .308, or .30-06. Tons of deer and elk killed every year with all 3.</p></blockquote><p></p>
