If a guy can handle them, the super .30's are great elk medicine.. Years ago when I worked for a living, our hunting was limited to after work and weekends.. Time was short, we had to make every opportunity count if we wanted elk meat for the winter. My three friends shot 06's. If we were in timber, or got a good shot in the sage, the 06 worked fine.. But often we would get chances at 400 to 600 yards.. Since getting meat was important, we took a shot up to 600.. The .300 never failed to get our winter's meat.. It is under those conditions were the cartridge shines.. But you must pratice with it.. That is why my favorite .300 is on its 3rd barrel. If you can't do that, then an 06 is fine...
