Eeeny-meeny-miny-mo!
:thumbsup: Yup, that's what Id do, (though I have to admit I'm partial to the .50's because that's what I own...)Loyalist Dave said:Since you haven't shot them yet, whichever one is the most accurate will be the one you want. IF they are equally accurate, then go with the one you will enjoy carrying the whole day.

I never had to chase one that far. My first elk about that distance, shot with four ..50 PRB. Was new at it though and broke a front shoulder, one in the ham (he fell then) one in the neck (so as not to damage the mount :shake: ) and finally a head shot. Still only bout 100 yds though.
and elk alot harder to kill than deer. .50 will do fine. What shoots the best in YOUR hands will do finer
a deer will get on average about 25-50 yards from where he was shot and the worst cases will be at about 200 yards. Many will drop on the spot.

Those I have killed went the aprox. 20 yard bit. I call that "reaction leaps". They are dead but don't know it yet. Long runs after a hit are from poorly placed shots.
