The high fence comment is based on years of being on these forums. One guy agonized endlessly over a suitable cartridge only to report back he'd essentially shot the elk in a 20 acre pen!
Not saying the 300's aren't fine elk cartridges (I've used them), just saying for my own personal use, if I'm going to get rocked by recoil, I'll skip right past the 300's and pack a 22" bbl'd 338. With a 210 Partition I consider that combo to be the "ultimate" elk setup. Fortunately I don't need the "ultimate" anything
As to Allen, he was a Partition man to the core (pun intended). Like me he found them quicker killers, while having penetration in spades.
