[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 636610, member: 13110"] Anything but a .280AI or 30-06AI is going to require action/magazine work of some kind and a magnum would require the bolt face being modified too. A 30-06AI will probably only give up 100fps to a .300wm but require custom dies and fireforming. I would probably go with option A just because the recoil difference between a .300wm shooting 210's, 215's, or 230's and a .338RUM/Edge/Lapua shooting 300's is pretty significant. If your recoil sensitive at all the .338's can be a handful unless the gun is pretty heavy. If recoil doesn't bother you and you can pack a heavy gun then the .338's would be the best elk medicine.
