[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1298861, member: 13632"] You'll find the lack of love for the 7 mag pretty wide spread, when they hit here they did so with crap bullets not really heavy enough for elk and they sucked, I'd rather see a 270 than a 7 mag but it more bullet issue. The 338-06 is a perfectly good choice depending on the terrain, in some areas here a 300 yard shot would be spitting distance others it's long range, load a bullet that matches your goals, the Savage small shank has no issues with that, I've built numbers of 338 RUM's on them and they do awesome. Pacnor does a good job with the profits!! Most important thing with elk is shot placement, shoot a lot and get very comfortable with the gun, I would rather have a guy come shoot elk that was second nature with a 243 than a guy who is on his first box of rounds for his ubermag!!
