another vote for the .300 Savage. It's a modest, reliable cartridge, that is a reliable killer. The guns chambered in it (usually Savage 99's) don't commend a premium, as people get all excited about the .250, but the .300 hits hard and can take anything in NA.
If not underrated, the .300 Savage at least seems to suffer greatly from amnesia. At its introduction, it was a super hot-schidt, powerful moose & elk killer. 94 years later, it's commonly dismissed as being on the light side for whitetails, and not even in the same league as the
vastly more powerful .308 Win.
How many threads are out there about, "Is the .270 enough for elk�"? OK, far too many. But finding a, "Is the .300 Savage adequate for elk?" thread is damned near impossible - people don't even bother to ask so silly a question.
