A good old local boy here in town has filled his elk tag 19 of the last 20 yrs. Now thats tough to do no matter where you live.

His rifle is a 25-06. He swears by it. He's two sons following right in his footsteps and they both use a 25-06 also. Put the bullet where it's supposed to go and it won't matter what you use.

I for one am done with magnums. I'll most likely never own one again. I don't shoot them well.

Shag,
You may be the influence for the next "turn". In my lifetime, I have watched the plain jaynes come into vogue as well as the magnum crazes several times a piece. The Magnum phase which gained momentum with the new 416's 20 years ago and boiled to a peak 10 year back with the RUMS's is about to turn again.

In 5 more years you will find the .270 and .30/06 riding high for the masses and the 7x57 and .375 H&H holding fast with the seasoned veterans. What H&H used to call "Gentlemen's weapons".

I loaded 100g GS Customs bullets for my elk hunt with the .25-06, unfort, I wasnt able to test them.
