[QUOTE="Bill_h, post: 1930017, member: 105101"] You have received lots of good advice here. Both rifles will kill elk. The 06 bullet will fall a lot further (and be more impacted by the wind) than the 7mm or 300WM if you are shooting 300 - 600 yards. If you take the 06, spend time with your dope and get really comfortable dialing or holding for your shot and be able to set up quickly to take a shot. A guy in my elk camp last year miss dialed his 06 for a 400 yard shot and missed. Don’t be that guy One of the things I like about my 300 WM (180 gr partition handloads) is that it shoots flater than an 06 so less room for error. The ability to put an accurate round on target quickly (every time) is much more important than the energy level of the bullet. [/QUOTE]
