[QUOTE="Jcook02, post: 1932769, member: 113022"] Shoot what you're comfortable and confident with. Funny, I've been told I'm under gunned and over gunned. Your confidence and ability to put the bullet where it needs to go says more than you have too much or too little gun. To be honest, I wish I had both guns. If I had a 300 WM I'd go with the 215 with no concerns of "overkill". If I had a Creed, I'd stick with a bullet that would dump all it's energy into the animal. A guide told me one time on an elk hunt, "These things are not Cape Buffalo, you want a bullet that dumps all its energy inside the animal". I have my preference on bullets for different guns. I'm confident in my rifles enough that I don't worry about an exit as I expect myself to put it where it needs to go and let the bullet do the work after that. [/QUOTE]
