[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 3228"] OK, Here's an Honest opinion from a guide who just got through a busy season.. For Deer Whitetail or Mulies.. 25-06 is great but it can't buck the wind.. you still need the 150+ gr bullets in my opinion. I'd go with the 7mm cal on up... 30 preferably For the Elk .. well.. the ultra mags are new, big and powerful .. YOU DO NOT NEED THEM!!! unless you are going to hunt at distance. there is no need for an ultra mag at 200 yards or less... a 30-06 will do the same job inside of 200 yards that 300 RUM will do the Elk will still die the same For Elk/ moose caribou inside of 200 yards .. it hard to beat the 338 win. mag. This will stop a bear too... The 416 is completely unnecessary unless your hunting Kodiak bears I saw way to many hunters bring these ultra mags out here for shots at 80 yards.. the bullet went through so fast it never had time to do what is was supposed to do... Use your head ... if your shots are gonna be 200 yards inside or there about your standard magnums are all fine.... just my .02 [/QUOTE]
