Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting The 300 Wby Mag for elk- is there anything better?

My Coastal locale, which is a twin to Jud and Fred’s territory, has for as long as I’ve been in the woods hunting elk ~ magnum country for us native boys.

7mag, 7 STW, 300 Win, 300 Wby, 300 Rum, 338 Win, and the occasional 30-378 Wby.

Sure, there has been the 06, 270 Win, a few AI enhanced rigs along the way, with a slew of levers chambered in anything from a 30/30 thru 45/70 for dark timber.

Never mattered to me what another hunter carried. I found through my personal experiences hunting with a 7mag, and 300 Win, that I preferred the 300 Wby or RUM for Coastal elk.
