300blk and 7.62x39 are perfectly suitable calibers for elk.

Handloads or factory ammo?
300blk elk
Lehigh controlled chaos.
Made its way through shoulder, both lungs, rib, stuck in hide of other side.
Damage looked exactly as gel tests showed despite traveling through ‘impenetrable shoulder blade’

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
Nice!
Not really different than a .32/40 Winchester, and many elk fell to that caliber in the 1890's to 1930's.
It doesn't really matter how big your bullet is if you know where to shoot it...

congrats on the elk. What was the range of the shot?
Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.
Range was ~70yd.
These were supers.
Too many Fudds out there repeating the same dated crap about 30.06 or larger.
I’m not even sold on always taking shots in vital zone (lung/heart).
I would much rather immediately anchor an animal with a high neck shot or other CNS hit.
It’s a real bummer to lose the heart- best chili meat there is.

Very cool! I have always been very interested in hunting with "non-typical" calibers and firearms. I'm currently acquiring preference points for an elk hunt, I plan on using a 6.5 Grendel once I get that tag.
