What it proves is just being able to hit something at 400 yards is useless if you don't have enough power to deliver a killing shot. The 308 is marginal at best when hunting elk, I think I'd limit it to deer size game. Some ranch's in CO and NM have caliber restrictions, with an 06 being at the bottom of the list.

You are a lot of fun. I always like to make fun of the "my gun can kill-em deader than yours" crowd. I watched a game manager in south Africa cull an elephant herd on discovery tv. a few years back. His gun was a military FAL, every time he pulled the trigger an elephant went down. Next you need to tell the military that they shouldn't be shooting those old 308's at the thousand yard range. Actually the late Great Jack O'Connor used the lowly 270 to hunt elk, do you think he might have taken one are two?
