[QUOTE="C-Crist276, post: 1929732, member: 114637"] I have hunted Montana the last 5 years on similar elk/deer combo north of Dillon in the grass hopper valley. You do not need a 300 WM or a 7mm RM. 30-06 and 270 have killed more elk and deer than all other rifle cartridges combined and its not even close. Repeat do not "Need" However, if you desire a new rifle, that is a different situation. 300 and 7mm care more energy than the 3006 but ballistics and range are going to be similar. For elk I would think any cartridge with greater than 130 gr bullet is going to be able to do the job. My elk in Montana were shot at 330 yard, 424 yard, and a 390 yards. I personal like the weatherby mag, get additional velocity and the fall off is less. [/QUOTE]
