[QUOTE="jrsolocam, post: 749925, member: 24511"] Uff da, I'm glad its friday. 338 will kill better than 284 or 308 driven at same velocity. Bigger hole. No argument out of me on that. Thinking that the new Sierra driven from a 378 Wby might be the ticket. With a suppressor... There are so many variables when it comes to killing. Angle of shot, point of actual impact, bullet construction, impact velocity, impact velocity vs velocities recommended by manufacturer, bore diameter, bla bla bla. Haven't even talked about how we kill them yet, rifle and optics. This is more of a personal choice based on what we like, where you hit em and what you hit them with is the final answer in burning your tag. If you can't legally and ethically kill a bull elk with a 300 WM maybe you should call it a day. The exception being people who have a real passion for LRH and are dedicated enough to practice and try different load combinations. It just bothers me when folks go buy a superultramag and put a lasertaser scope on it and start blasting game at distances they have no business even trying. One of my bosses at work bought a M700 300 RUM, paid someone $500 to mount a Huskema and zero it for him. He never shot it or checked it, he just took off to MT elk hunting. That just doesnt sit well with me. [/QUOTE]
