The .300 Winchester

SAY YOU WANTED


















The same analysis applies to the .270 Winchester. By all accounts a hell of a sheep and deer caliber, throw elk into the equation and the .270 becomes marginal. Sure, there are elk hunters who shoot their bull with a .270 every year, but they are the exception. Most of the savvy elk crowd considers the .270 either too small or the absolute bare minimum for wapiti.







The .338 Winchester Magnum is another thing altogether. By all accounts a large caliber by North-American standards, it has been said that true recoil starts at the .338. A seasoned rifleman who practices regularly certainly should have no trouble handling the .338, but for many casual shooters, the .338 is simply too much rifle to shoot regularly or accurately.

Pretty much lost me on these two...glad as heck I'm not a savy elk hunter....other wise I'd not have used and seen the .270 used on elk as much as I have over the last 3 decades...grin

And from where I sit, a 338 is pretty much easier to deal with than a 300 but that's just been my experience.
