Well I have had my comeuppence on elkie calibers. My friend just shot his elk with a 243..guess it boils down to bullet placement. Actually his elk was a combo of good bullet placement and absolutely perfect conditions. I had one walk past me at a range I know I could have made a killing shot with my 45 auto and I had it with me. Changed the scope on my old M-70 30-06..Been shooting a few reloads with the 150 Nosler partition and it really shoots them well. The old 54 shoots the 165 Sierra BT best over 57.2 gr of IMR 4350. The 54 is more comfortable to shoot as it has a recoil pad..the 70 has the checkered steel butt..but that is going to be my elk rifle next week...either one
