[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 341927, member: 13632"] The only gun I have had a very high percentage of DRT shots on elk was a 47-70 loaded with 300gr hollow points loaded to the max out of a bolt action. These are all normal hunting distaces but it slams elk but on deer I have not been able to one shot kill even one. On deer it acts like an arrow but on elk it opens up to the size of a silver dollar, two completely different wound channels for the same bullet. It is actually kinda fun to shoot elk with cause of there reaction to the hit but it does not have the range to get out in the sage brush very far. I really like the looks of the 338RUM, I'm ordering a new barrel and it is hard to stay on the current project and not bail to a 338 barrel. The promise of 300gr Bergers could really add something to it also. I want to go all the way and get a 338AM, if I can wait that long.:D [/QUOTE]
