[QUOTE="mike33, post: 402647, member: 14195"] Wow, didn't know i was under gunned myself. i went on my first elk hunt last fall and packed my 25x284 shooting a 100 grain sierra fb. Had a buddy that has been 3 for 3 on elk with that same bullet out of his 257 whby at 3700. Now on the other hand i have made this post several times, another friend who took me on this hunt only shoots a 6mm x 284 100 grain nosler solid base. I was with him last fall in Co. when he took a nice 6x7 elk at around 625 yards. He fired 3 shots at this elk moving and hit twice, they was both in the guts. Now since 1978 this guy has killed 21 or 22 bull elk at ranges from 300 - 700 his opinion smaller bullets fragment better where a lot of larger bullets punch a hole. I think with this many elk under his belt he can make a strong opinion. One thing he pointed out to me was he thought a lot of guys goes the wrong way like a guy goes with say 300 mag misses or looses an elk next year he goes with larger gun that he cant shoot. My friend is a heck of an off hand shooter and for most part can place a bullet where he wants but has had many kills with not as good shots also. btw he is in to off hand muzzle loader shoots and among the top 10 in the country. mike [/QUOTE]
