[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1526328, member: 105990"] I seem to run it to more guys that say you have to have a magnum or large caliber for Elk than I do guys that say you do not need them. I don't think what caliber/cartridge is a big deal as long as you are comfortable with it, use a bullet made of good construction, and are able to shoot it well. I think if you have these all together you'll do fine. If you like the big guns, enjoy them and shoot them well, use them. If you feel you do better with a smaller gun use it. I don't think we should down any one for what the shoot, but maybe help them do better with what they are shooting. As the old saying goes shoot the biggest gun you can shoot well. For some that may be a 270win. and for another it maybe a 460 weatherby mag. Yes we all have our favorites and want to get every one we meet to use them, but that is not going happen, that's why we have so many good calibers and cartridges, too fit so many different people.
