Will these work for elk, and what is there maximum range, to kill effectively, in .300 win mag, 30-06, and 7mm remington?

None of those will work. I didn’t know this either until I really get on some of the hunting forms but elk are basically bulletproof. Their skin is Kevlar in their bones are made out of heat treated titanium, it’s weird I know, but true. A 300 Win mag is the bare minimum I would use for any animal west of Kansas. There are people on here that will say they’ve killed them with 243‘s, 270s, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 and 7mm-08 All those people are trolls. If you don’t shoot a big enough gun to dislocate your shoulder and fracture your skull when you get scoped it’s not gonna kill an elk.
pffftt! Dude! Everyone knows their bones are coated in adamantium and they have a mutant healing factor that can only be overcome by a cartridge that burns at least 55 grains of powder.None of those will work.

You are correct I miss spoke.BS! A 6.5 Creedmoor is a more powerful than the Death Star was. A elk is no match for the Creedmoor Laser death ray!
No Doug. 90 grains of powder plus is required. mtmuley
