My gawd I am really happy there was no internet when I started using a 300 Weatherby for elk,or anything else. I just figured a 180 gr bullet at 3200,or a 200 gr at 3000+ fps was pretty good and started shooting elk with them.
I was younger, shot a lot and recoil was not a concern. That did not come until later. It worked fine on everything...more like spectacular and not many cartridges dumped those bull elk better.
