[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 712054, member: 47325"] Most modern chamberings shoot flat to 500 and are very adequate for Elk at that range, and that list start s with the old work horse 30-06. Of the 3 you listed I would just go get the 300Win and be done with it. Ammo and fire arm availability being the major deciding factor, with less recoil than the 300ultra, and wider range of bullets over the 7mm being the icing, and since your also realizing you have to practice the better barrel life of the 300Win would be your sprinkles. I shoot a 7mag and to be honest I really don't feel any desire to use anything else, it's got plenty of poop to 1000yrds. One other thing to keep in mind, how the rifle fits [U]you[/U] is more important than anything else, since if you can't drive it well to begin with, your going to fight it some and that's not good for the confidence.
