[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1607901, member: 71039"] Thats pretty funny - and not a true statement. Elk aren’t that tough. I have seen a lot of elk run off after being hit by 300 and 338 wm. Bring whatever gun you shoot the best and the right bullet for the job. I have been shooting bergers for a long time and put them right behind the shoulder. I shot a nice 5pt a few years ago with a 115gr berger out of a 25-06 and he didnt even take a step. Last year I shot the elk in my avatar with a 145gr eldx and he took a couple steps and fell over. My 300 rum and 300wby just sit in the safe now as I believe that shot placement and bullet selection are more important than the size of the cartridge and the big 300’s don’t kill them any deader than the 6.5s and 270s. Most guys would be better off bringing their whitetail guns than some new magnum...especially for a once in a lifetime hunt. [/QUOTE]
