It is not might make a difference, it does..
I always wonder in these discussions, how many elk most of the posters have really killed.. Reading about elk hunting does not replace doing it.. Bob Hagel was a great elk hunter and a great writer.. He understood the benefit of more powerful rifles, if you can shoot them.. Most can't.. He was also one of the early writers who promoted good bullets.. He didn't have the selection we do, but he knew the benefit of a well constructed bullet...
Sixteen to date. Only used two calibers, 270 Winchester and 300 Winchester Mag. I believe anything between or over would work just fine. Yes, all were harvested with premium bullets.
