[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1399827, member: 103670"] You probably don't need a weatherby, 300 or otherwise. Bullet placement is more critical than caliber. I have seen elk killed with everything from 260s to 338 win mags. A good bullet placed well out of a 270 or '06 will do great. I watched a buddy of mine kill two cows with two shots out of a .308 win loaded with 150gr. Barnes ttsx bullets this year neither made it more than 20 yards. The same guy killed a 5x5 bull at 310 yards the year before with the same rifle. Do yourself a favor get a rifle with less recoil than a 300weatherby to start with. [/QUOTE]
