Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Elk hunting out west

Of my three elk:

First : 200 yards, 300win, 165 Grand Slam, didn't go far

Second : 450+ yards, 300Rum, 180 Scirocco, stoned him

Third : 125 yards, 7STW, 160 Partition,dropped him in his tracks

In all three places, there were possibilities of very long shots, hence the boomers.

I'd say it was a tossup between the STW and 300Rum on effectiveness. Although it wasn't much of a test of the STW......
