I know from decades of family experience that an '06 will kill Bambi at 400 to500 yards with 150-grain bullets. The deal isn't about the cartridge, necessarily; it's more about knowing the distance, the trajectory and figuring the wind.
I'm not an elk hunter, but I think I'd do okay with my '06 and 180-grain bullets. The gun oughta do just fine. The critical part is my own skill.
