[QUOTE="mntnflyr4fun, post: 3068399, member: 29147"] I have shot many elk with 270 30-06 300wm and my all time favorite that outperforms them all is the 338wm with 250gr bullets. I have shot at least a dozen with that combination and NOT ONE took more than a step after being hit, every other caliber I have personally shot elk with, or watched partners hit elk with at range all go a distance after taking the hit sometimes multiple hits which is an unacceptable result when the direction they are heading is down into a big *** hole in the ground in the coast range of Oregon. Something magical about that combination. As one writer (maybe Jack O) said, "it just numbs em". I am a believer and wouldn't shoot a thousand yards at an elk with anything else, at least if you want it anchored where it stands... Put a good tactical scope on it and flat shooting is not something you need be concerned with regardless of caliber, you need terminal performance, the rest is fluff. [/QUOTE]
