[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 90668, member: 412"] I've personally watched 18 elk die. 4 during the TRNP thing, 14 on real hunting trips. I've seen them killed with: 257Wby, 270Win, 300Win, and 338Win. I personally killed one w/257Wby, 10 w/300Win. My 270Win hand loads accounted for 2 more by other folks. One via buddies 300Win and his own handloads, 4 via buddies 338Win and his own handholds. Throw in killing a moose with a 300Win and watching another die via 338Win. In my non-scientific sample above, from 125-450yds, using a good bullet and getting it placed in the lungs matters far more than what chambering it came from. I continue to carry my 300Win. [/QUOTE]
