[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 807685, member: 55580"] You asked for it again, just like you seem to do with every thread of yours... You seem to open this can of worms in every one of your threads. You get mad when anyone says use the bigger caliber FOR ELK and you claim no one listens to you that if you are accurate, it works just as good. Well, maybe YOU should try listening to what everyone else says for once... As someone who has ACTUALLY SHOT ELK, I agree with Montana on this one. You should use the 300WSM since you have one. If you only had the Creedmoor and were planning an elk hunting trip, I would not tell you to go buy another rifle for the hunt because the Creedmoor can work. However, when having the choice between the two, you should definitely go with the 300. I understand that if you place the bullet just right, a .22 would work to kill elk. However, bullet placement is not always perfect and having the larger caliber with more energy always helps for those less than perfect shots. And even for those perfect shots, more energy means more knockdown power. I have seen a cow elk with two perfectly placed 220gr pills take off running like she wasn't even hit. Anything that helps avoid that situation is always helpful. Just my two cents... [/QUOTE]
