Looking into a new rifle, just because. While researching it and contemplating what it could be used for, Elk hunting came up. I hunt Roosevelt's in some pretty brushy, thick, vertical country as a rule, meaning that the longest shots are 150 yards, and more typically half that. Let's just call it 200 yards max to be safe and get a little extra distance for good measure.
The rifle is a carbine with an 18" barrel. Any recommendations for a cast boolit to look at? Is the whole idea of a 308 carbine for Roosevelt Elk crazy? Oh, and I can generally hit within 2 - 3" of point of aim under the conditions that I hunt in. Not spectacular accuracy, I know, but there is a lot going on in a short amount of time when you take the shot.
Thanks for the input!
