[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1503857, member: 75933"] So, when the chips are down and you're looking for a good clean kill way out there, you'd really want a big 30 or 338. While many will say a 7mm or 6.5 will get it done with great placement, why chance it? Don't we all want a quick efficient kill for our quarry? 215, 230, 250 on up at 2800fps or more. You get the benefits of great BC, plus the added comfort of the added energy from a larger bullet. LIke its been said, why risk a 7mm not punching a shoulder because of a bad wind read or animal movement? A good elk rifle starts with 3 and leaves 2 holes, all the time. There's no such thing as overkill. [/QUOTE]
