[QUOTE="Garyjt, post: 2307954, member: 119875"] I agree with Idaho Lefty. A 300 WM is nice and I use 180 Nosler E-Tip or Barns 180 TSX. Using this combination, I have one shot kills on elk. I also seen a hunting partner with a 270 shoot a bull elk and use 4 shots to bring the bull down because shot placement was not the best. I also seen a person with a 300 WM and 150 grain accubond shooting 4 shots on a elk. Therefore, shot placement is paramount no matter what bullet you are using. Shoot at difference distance so you know what you and your rifle are capable to shoot. I have always used an 180 grain bullet on elk and I also shoot at the range a lot to assure I can shoot straight at what I aim at. I also know what distances I can shoot and know that I can make that shot. In other words, get comfortable with your rifle and the distances you can shoot. [/QUOTE]
