However, if I were to only have one gun/caliber, I am very partial to the 308.  I have a hand load with 178 gr Hornady Eld-X that is super accurate and am confident would put an elk down. My son in law shot a deer with it last year at 240 yds and you could put your fist in the exit wound.  Heavy bullet, deep penetration and catastrophic devastation to the vitals. With the 308, you could have a heavier load like that for elk and a lighter load for whitetail.</blockquote>
