Rifle Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice for 2023
Sorry about that. I saw that, but considered some states don't let any large game animal to use a .22 cal. But I also had no state listed to review. So I went with the next one which is legal in any western state for large game. Thanks tho!!!!- SilverDollars
