[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1357984, member: 20646"] Given the choices and thinking of all the western game animals i'd pursue (not limited to elk), a 7mm Rem Mag handloaded does quite well. I've had a 300 Win before and it is an amazing cartridge and flat-out out-powers the 7mm Rem Mag - no doubt about it. However, i don't believe i need the extra ummph the 300 Win provides from the 7mm RM. If i want/need more measurable power (as in distance greater >~700yds, wind, strictly for elk) then i'd move up to a big/fast 338. For me long-ish range starts in the 600yd department and out to about 1,300-1,400yds or so where exceptionally long range starts. I'd not try a shot on game out to 1,000 or so with a 7mm Rem Mag (can't say it can't be done...), but i'd want a big 338 for that to ensure enough power and cross-wind resistance. [/QUOTE]
