[QUOTE="257 STW, post: 2356832, member: 117426"] I own both the 7STW, and the 300 PRC, and have killed elk with both. They both get the job done, but I still prefer a 30 cal with a berger 215. I watched my buddy put 3 well placed berger 195s (28 Nosler) into the crease on a big six point at 770 and he just kept walking. I was spotting and saw the hide ripple on all 3 hits before he got to the timber. The bull actually only went about 100 yards before piling up, but still sucked them up. When we got the hide off, and all 3 shots were in the sweet spot in about an 8" circle. Lungs were jello. Granted, the bull was dead after the first shot, but they are tough, and have a very strong will to live. I`m not saying the same can`t happen with a 30, because it can. But the results I have seen at distance between the 2 seem to give the edge to a heavy for caliber 30. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
