It doesn't help help when guides are telling Elk clients they need a .300 mag of some sort. I know a lot of guys who own .300's because they went on an Elk hunt once and it was what the guide recommended to them. They never seem to talk their clients into 7's from what I see.
Any guide worth their salt isn't going to recommend a client bring something that he can't shoot. The good ones I know will usually recommend packing what's already in the gun cabinet.
Nothing scarier than getting a new batch of hunters into camp, and hearing "I just bought a new rifle for the trip". Doubly so if it's a 7 Mag or 300. When that's the case, the chances of a rodeo have increased exponentially.
