[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2198368, member: 78056"] I have a .338 WM that shoots just fine for me, as far out as I'm willing to reach... maybe 350 yards, and does a number on elk. However, if I were in the market to buy an elk rifle today it would definitely be a .338 RUM or Lapua! And yes, for elk you need as much gun as you can handle. While an 06 and .300 WM will kill an elk, you can take shots with the .338 that an ethical 300 WM hunter should pass on, due to either angle or range. The .338 is an elk slayer, keeping in mind at all times that shot placement is always king! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
