[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1552578, member: 103670"] I think this falls under the realm of personal choice. No you don’t need a magnum to kill an elk but for me the good old .300 Winchester Magnum is a great elk cartridge. It doesn’t recoil beyond what I can handle comfortably and it packs a pretty good punch out to 800-1000 yards. I have two. One is a Ruger M77 Mark II bought when I was 16 and had this dream of one day hunting elk. I’ve killed 10 elk with that rifle in the last 8 years. Most shot with a 180gr accubond. It’s good to 500 yards. The newest addition to my safe is a Browning X Bolt Hells Canyon Long Range. It’s shooting 181gr Hammer hunters. I haven’t hunted with it yet. [/QUOTE]
