[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 833240, member: 32685"] D.Cam I dont have any experiance to speak of. I have shot one Large Bull, and I used a 300 Win Mag 180gr at just over 400 yards. He turned and walked up a hill for about 100 yards turned back and looked at me before he waivered and stumbled and went to the Ground. The bullet went through the lungs and broke the far shoulder. I agree with you totally, as after that experiance I had a lot of respect for Elk, or big Bulls. This year will be only be a one time thing and it will be on a Cow and I will be shooting a .243 AI............I dont plan on it becoming a habit. If I lived in a place where I could buy an Elk tag over the counter I would probably be shooting a 30cal Magnum. Its enjoyable to post a question like I did to see all of the different opinions.....but for the most part those people, like yourself, who have lots of experiance all have the same feelings and opinions. For several years I wanted a .338-06, still do, kind of.................but after I buy a new quad I will be saving up for a new Rifle...............and I will be back here looking for more advice and opinions from those with the experiance that really matters.
