[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1732504, member: 61747"] Everyone has their opinion and experience. I guided and outfitted for close to 30 years and have seen it all, just don't pontificate about it much. I have seen old timers take everything we had to offer, bear, elk, moose, and deer with a lever action 30-30 and I have seen guys make horrid shots with a 338 lapau and 7 STW. I don't have a clue how many animals I've seen hit the dirt, a lot, and every single animal hit correctly has been dead within steps. I've never given a crap about the overall weapon choice of my hunters (within reason) but I pay close attention to their abilities and ethics. In the end I have zero concerns about a guy packing a creedmoor who knows how to use it. We've killed a pile of elk with them, have not lost a single animal. Yes I will agree that bigger and faster does typically create more shock with the correct bullet choice. [/QUOTE]
