[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1470124, member: 54963"] Reading posts from guys that kill lots of elk, many of them like the .338 caliber. Many experienced elk hunters will say the .300 mag is better than the 7 mag, but there are lots of elk killed every year with 7 mags. If you look up the formula for calculating Kinetic Energy, you will see velocity is the biggest contributor to kinetic energy. KE = 1/2mass X Velocity squared. So velocity and energy, while not the same, are very related and energy is very dependent on velocity. There are lots of other factors to consider beyond energy / velocity for selecting the best cartridge. [/QUOTE]
