[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 447097, member: 26633"] Aurthurj. Like you said with a marginal hit one marginal hit is not gonna be any different than another marginal hit. Shot placement is critical. As for cartridges, you can't go wrong with either, both are excellent for elk. Choose the one you would be most comfortable with. I believe the 7mm rem mag was developed for elk hunting. I personally would go with the flatter shooting round myself. Also flatter shooting means less hold over. And I've always been partial to the 7mms, as I own a 7rum. You just can't beat a premium 160gr at 3000fps. Flat enough for open country and hits hard enough for anything that walks within the fifty states. Or you can step it up to one of the bigger 7mms, a little more recoil than a rem mag. If you choose a 7mm it can be in a lighter rifle too without punishing you as much as a 338.
