[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 262051, member: 10582"] I am by no means an expert on elk killing rifles, but as a guide who has seen a ton of elk killed, and an owner of many different rifle calibers. I will offer this opinion. I started to think I needed a super cannon. I'll inject that I love my 308win and this past fall shot completely through the chest of a cow elk at 550 yards, with a 168gr. Barnes. Back on subject, super to me is a 300 Ultra with 200gr accubond. It shoots pretty bug holes, super fast and super loud. My story goes like this. This past fall while hunting we spotted these bulls, and were trying to get within 600 yard because of a strong wind. The issue that slapped me in the face, is that a different bull presented himself in the timber, and this cumbersome cannon was not condusive to off-hand shooting. The bottom line is I can kill every rock in the country with my cannon. For elk hunting out to 600 yards I will choose the rifle and caliber that I can shoot effectively in every situation. I am a computer moron and this is the only way that I can show off pictures. Below is the web address to some pictures of elk that some clients have killed with me. Many of the hunters were young first time hunters with non magnum calibers.
