[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1678185, member: 107141"] My favorite Elk cartridge is the .300 Wby Mag. I hav found the 180 grain Grongratulations on your gift! I have hunted with the .300 Wby mag since 1978. My favorite Elk cartridge is the .300 Wby Mag. I have tested various rifle cartridges and testing proves hydrostatic shock is more important than absolute energy. To that end, the .300 Wby is excellent with with a 24 inch or 26 inch barrel. I have found the Barnes TTSX, the 180 grain Accubond and the 180 grain Ballistic Tip all provide consistent, accurate performance out to 700 + yards with outstanding hydrostatic shock. I have found 220 grain bullets do not provide the same hydrostatic shock as the 1980 grain bullets as they are launched at slower velocities. My 120 pound wife owns and hunts with her own .300 Wby mag. So, with a recoil pad and proper placement of the stock, away from the shoulder, the .300 can be a joy to shoot.
