Hello guys & gals
I don't have a hunting rifle yet; & I want my first one to be of a caliber that is 1: abundant & easy to find; & 2: could kill an elk without being overkill for a deer.
I live in southern Oregon, if that matters, if you're wondering about species of elk/deer.
I guess I'd like to go with the most abundant, smallest, & cheapest caliber that could kill an elk with a decently-placed shot.
I've heard .270 is about the smallest one should go for elk hunting. Does this sound right to you guys?
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for the feedback,
Bull.
