[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2024730, member: 75779"] For ease of use, the 300WM is the way to go. Ballistically, there is not much difference between the 3 out to 500 yards. [/QUOTE] Maybe the best response so far. Which cartridge doesn't have ample energy to kill an elk at 500? let's be real about this - an accurate gun with excess KE that fits well makes us all smile. the brass only holds the powder and grips the bullet. more powder is better to a point, but then suffers from diminishing returns (30-378 WB cough). AND there's no free lunch - recoil, cost, longevity all come into the equation. IMO if you want to shoot bullets heavier than 215grs, move up in caliber. The smack of the 33 cals is noticeably more.
