>>238920>a 300 win mag is as big as you need in North America. .338 is just a waste.huh? .300 Win Mag and .338 Win Mag are the same case, with minor differences that make a big difference. the only .30 cal bullets that can touch .338 ballistic coefficient and sectional density are over 200 grains and they are too long for the short neck of the .300 Win Mag case unless you seat them ridiculously deep or use a magnum length action.
>Hell you can take elk with the glorious 7x57 all daybut, why would you? Elk have big ass bones that bullets can deflect on or break apart. something like a 175gr Swift A-frame would probably work fine but, why use a 7x57 when .280 Rem and 7mm Rem Mag spank the shit out of 7X57?
>>239486I live in AZ and hunting Elk in the woods up by the Grand Canyon is mostly nothing but 50 yard shots. down in the open Cedars, you can have 300+ yard shots.
