I drew a cow tag in a place where I think I will get a shot within 200 yards if I get one at all. I also drew a doe tag and will be filling that first with Dad's Marlin, so if I get close enough to a cow it will get 180 grains of love at speed from the lever action. If I plug a doe and switch rifles to look for a cow, is an 18" grendel a bad idea?
Elk?

do you shoot both well? there is no replacement for placement but the grendel will handle that cow elk to 300 no problem, no varmint bullets of course, stay back of the shoulder and take out the balloons in the middle of the rib cage and you're good to go, nice thing about a cow elk is the size of the kill zone a lot easier to get into than a little whitetail doe

If you use the custom search engine there are some threads from the past with elk Bulls and cows taken with the Grendel. Like others have said through the lungs and no issue taking them. Use the custom search engine in the announcements forum here and search for elk in it. There are quite a few threas about elk with the Grendel.
