So I'm a avid reloader and hunter who is looking at a Elk hunt next year in the fall.I've killed pretty everything the Southern States has to offer except a Alligator which I have no desire to pursue.My Question is how much of a magnum caliber is needed to effectively and efficiently kill a Bull Elk at 400 meters and back to me.I'm confident in my abilities to be accurate at 400 but wouldn't risk a 500 meter shot just because I "think" I can.The guys I been talking with all say one of 2 calibers always starts the discussion of a
7mm Rem mag or 300 win mag which I have neither but I do have a
Well made and plenty accurate Interams imported 375 H&H Magnum in a Mauser action.So I can use some lighter bullets to make a longer shot but the gun and 10 rounds weigh almost 11 pounds with scope and I'm not sure I would or could carry that all day strapped across my back.So what would y'all recommend in my situation
