There was a similar thread not too long ago, IIRC most elk were shot @ between 150- 200yds. So why do I need a super uber magnum again?????????? You don't. Instead of an uber-mag you need a rifle you can shoot well. If you shoot your uber-mag well there is little or no downside to using it.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
