My Dad (1922-2004) hunted elk nearly every year within the Bear Lodge Mountains of Wyoming. His rifle was a 300 Savage lever gun which has moderate recoil. Dad always shot an elk twice; he could lever a fresh cartridge very quickly. Compare the energy of two 180 grain 300 Savage bullets to just one 375 MAG bullet. No wonder Dad was always so successful!
300 Savage is a keeper!
