Elk are first on my list just like how the 338's perform on them.I remember when I was real young running into these 2 cowboys way up on mountain.Me asking about the elk they shot ,as they put it 1/2 mile.I noticed they both had Weatherbys in their scabbards and I asked about caliber,340wby.That when I first new I wanted one, those where the good ole days [/QUOTE]
