[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1563909, member: 13110"] There is really no replacement for displacement. The big calibers are flat hard on elk but they are also hard on shoulders. The VLD type bullets make smaller calibers act like bigger calibers with non VLD bullets. I like .30 magnums and VLD type bullets. The .30's are just nicer to shoot a lot then the 338's and in general they kill better than the smaller calibers. I really think the Amax's/ELD-M's will do better than Bergers from my experience using them in smaller calibers and that is why I intend to give them a whirl this year. My dad has crushed 3 cows in the last couple years with his 6.5 Creedmoor and 147 ELD-M's. Like straight down and barely kicking type crush. I should have at least 3 elk tags again this year to test them out and if I get lucky I might have 4 plus a AK hunt for moose and maybe deer/caribou and anything else I can get drawn for. [/QUOTE]
