[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1552421"] In the end, it's like asking what is your favorite song or food. With so many great possibilities, the only reason you might come up with only one, is inexperience! I'll stay on point... with western elk hunting, you need long range performance with a tough bullet. I love the standard calibers, but I gotta go with a magnum for the additional 200-300fps. As has been pointed out by others, the short magnums are not overtly underweighing the standard magnums, so no huge short action advantage. I know the 6.5mm and below can kill but I'd stick from .270 to .338 for elk. [/QUOTE]
