Give me a .270 and Partitions and I'll show you dead elk until you're sick of looking at dead elk.
It's always been the Indian, not the arrow.
Pretty hard to argue with this.
The 300 Weatherby is no doubt a great elk cartridge. But today the world is so full of great elk cartridges you can't keep up with them all.
Personally I'd rather have a 7mm Mashburn. It kicks less.
Bob, my 300 B is in a Blaser R8, 8.5 lbs scoped. I don't know what it is--it certainly kicks but doesn't seem excessive to me at all. Maybe it was all those years of lighting the 340's fire. 😳 😀
