What does a fence have to do with it? Having never shot an elk I would not know, but I have shot a few "elk-sized" animals and without question, the 300 Weatherby kills them well. I have taken your suggestion of going with the lightest rifle, my 24" tubed Mauser action Weatherby and my pre-64 Custom 338 are the lightest rifles I own in bigger calibers, but I take it you would prefer the 338 (w say, 210s) over the 300s w 180s)? Oh yeah, I use TTSXs that I know yo don't care for, but that's non-negotiable....
PS: Edited to add, "our" old friend Allen Day's favorite elk cartridge was the 300 WM...

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
