.300 WSM for elk
7mm-08 for whitetails
...
donsm70 +1. This is also my current preference, but I am thinking a 280AI may cover both elk and deer nicely.

Anklebiter: Did I post it before?...oh please forgive me Mister Monitor  At least I don't have to start a thread asking what bullet I should use..... Would think someone with your "experience" could figure that out for themselves....LOL! I suspect I know the reason you need to ask. Before I forget...GFY.

For what, where and how you hunt what's your favorite cartridge? 6.5 x 57 Mauser.... due to the rarity, the age of it ( designed in the early 1890s) and its capabilities ( flat shooting)....easy to load for ( just neck up 257 Roberts brass...( a 6.5 x 55 equivalent, in a 257 Roberts case)....

Again Bob what was your favorite???? I enjoy what you have to say and some others... But I did think that Mashburn might have at least had second place...

Uuuhh! is anybody looking? 35 Whelen
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

I can't decide which is my favorite. 222 Rem, 30-30 Win, or 35 Whelen, can't decide which. Indecision may or may not be my problem.
Shoot straight or shoot often.

257 Roberts. Optimal recoil and power combined with a nice range of bullet choice nicely straddling the varmint/game fence. Also allows me to use my favorite rifle... a Remington Model 30s.
