[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1475169, member: 1940"] Quote: “I’ve seen a lot of cartridge choices in elk camp. Mostly 7 Rem Mag or 300 Win mag, but the occasional 30-06 and 338 Win Mag and all of them killed the elk. When talking to most of the guides and outfitters, they tend to favor the 300 RUM.” I’m not sure where most of you hunt or who uses outfitters but I can tell you in my experience guiding elk hunters here in Colorado for over 30 years almost every guide/outfitter I knew recommended away from the big magnums because very few guys would shoot them enough to master the recoil. I still suggest, when asked, a guy bring the deer rifle he’s comfortable and confident with. A 30 cal magnum pushing big bullets is an awesome killing machine but only if one can shoot it accurately.
