[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1298829, member: 12995"] Your guide sounds very biased... I've never killed an elk personally, but I can say that ballistically, there is not always an advantage to having a big heavy bullet if it's going extremely slow (comparing the .30-06 AI/.30 Gibbs/.300 Sherman vs. the .338-06, .338-06 AI, .338-06 A-Squre, and .340 Gibbs). Ballistically, you would be superior shooting a .300 Sherman with a 215 Berger Hybrid, compared to a 225-250 grain .338 bullet. This thread also might help you decide on which gun to use. The 7mm RemMag has killed tons of elk over the years. One guy on here killed a monster moose at like 900-someting yards with a 7mm RemMag. Dropped him with 1 shot. Can't ever remember who it was, but you could probably search it on here.
