[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 2313935, member: 96251"] I read this earlier and wasn’t gonna respond but the more I think about the more I want too . Some will agree and a lot won’t . For a rifle that I would plan on using for elk which is what the title says I’d start at 338 . And yes I know there are truckloads killed every day with the blah blah blah creed whatever or the 270 and a 243 . Not by no means am I saying it can’t be done . And yes a 300 win mag is absolutely awesome for this kind of hunting but why not step up your game and get a bigger hammer. I found a very lightly used 338 win mag several years back in a gun shop and bought it just to go elk hunting with . Haven’t got to use it on elk yet but have killed a few Wv whitetails with it just to get a feel for it . I believe that if you practice with dry firing and live firing you can learn to control or eliminate flinch. When I was younger I was not recoil tolerant . It took several summers of shooting weekly to get to where I am . But it can be done just takes practice. And or put a muzzle brake on it . [/QUOTE]
