[QUOTE="cross, post: 449851, member: 8592"] Good post Steve. You're exactly right, bang-flops are not the norm. For me, the norm for elk is for the critter to soak up a shot or two, run 15 to 40 yards, wobble and fall over. My 338's and 7mm's both seem to generate this effect unless I spine or shoulder shoot (sometimes even when I shoulder shoot). That's why I pack my 7WSM more than my 338WM when elk hunting. However, I totally agree with you that for elk, bigger is better to a point and if I'm going to be hunting mostly thick cover with small chance for long range, I carry my 338WM. [/QUOTE]
