Best Answer
Short or long action is immaterial, it is the caliber (and energy) of the cartridge that counts. Short action rifles use shorter cartridges, such as the.308 Winchester- an adequate cartridge for elk if the right bullet is used. Long actions use longer cartridges, such as the 30-06- also adequate.
