[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 1552438, member: 22242"] I have shot probably around 40-50 elk and have used 25-06, 7mm rem mag, 44 mag, 30-06, 300 win, 300 ultra, 338 win, 338 lapua, 338 RUM and 375 RUM. Of those the 375 RUM is absolutely the most effective, I had great luck with the 7mm (my first hunting rifle) for a lot of years, I have several 338's and tend to gravitate to them, however anything 30 cal and up is great. Lots of people say 6mm and 6.5 are all you need and they are right in a perfect world, bt when things dont go as expected and crap gets real, the big 3's have the needed horsepower. When asked I always recommend a 338 of some flavor. [/QUOTE]
