[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1552471, member: 88320"] A few moons ago we were shooting elk out of Orchards and hay fields for depredation work and we had a need for those elk to be dead right where we shot them. We shot them with all kinds of calibers and quickly learned that 338s and big bullets did the best at that job. But for regular hunting I don't mind if an elk goes 30 yards before it falls. Today I hunt with 6.5 and 7MMs and they do just fine. Bigger is always better when shots aren't perfect. One could hard to argue that a 7MM rem mag or a 300Winny mag are the perfect balance for all occasions. I shot the most of my elk with 300WM it performed perfectly every time. [/QUOTE]
