[QUOTE="Dalebow, post: 573597, member: 34477"] people kill deer and elk every year with a 243, 257 bob, 2506 so these guys saying a 300 mag is too light for deer way out are just magnum jockeys..........no offensegun) 300 mag or even better 300wsm with a good bullet like the TTSX or accubond will flat smoke a deer or elk out to any reasonable ranges one should be shooting at. My current everything gun is a 300 wsm with 165 gr TTSX, so far bear, elk, mule deer, and whitetail have never lived to tell me it wasnt enough gun. Now if you want to shoot elk at 1000 yards sure step up to the cannon but tell the old guys who kill their elk every year with a 270 or a 3006 that they dont have enough gun....................well I think a famous guy shot elephants with a 7 X 57 mauser all day long:D put the shot behind the shoulder and they will die, mess up the shot and a cannon doesnt mean it will make up for your mistakes.
