I agree with you on most; shooting is an essential skill.

I've noticed no real difference between a 300 Win Mag with 180-200 gr bullets and a 338 win mag with 225-250 gr. bullets on Elk. This said, I've not seen a statistically valid sample to compare. I have shot bear and moose with the 375 H&H and noticed no difference in their demise versus my 300 win mag. This is the only reason why I skipped it and jumped to the .416; albeit someone would have to be crazy to purposefully use a 416 Rem Mag to hunt Elk smile I'm sure it would do very well.
