[QUOTE="cgarb, post: 1503460, member: 55318"] 300 Win mag is tough to beat, its a classic, brass is plentiful and its ballistics are right there with all of the other short fat, non belted copies of itself. The only "fault" other than having a belt is the neck is shorter than ideal. That being said the bull you killed didn't know the difference. If I build a dedicated elk long range rig it will be in 300 RUM. I have a 300 win, its getting a new barrel being chambered for 7mm Mashburn. I don't own a 7mm of any kind so that will be it. I also own a 30-338 win...its a fantastic cartridge also. In a Ruger action that you cant seat out past 3.340 OAL I think it better than a 300 win for that application. My opinion...I'm in the process of finishing a 338-06 in a Mauser right now...neat round also. Opening up a case really ups the horsepower you can get out of it. Bottom line, just pick your favorite flavor and build one... [/QUOTE]
