The .300 shoots faster flatter and hits harder.. If you don’t need the range and speed, don’t use it.. Much of elk hunting doesn’t require it or the rifleman can’t use it.. J. Jobson a O’Connor pal and .270 lover said the perfect rifle for elk if you can use it is a .300 Wea. With 180 partitions... If you are too weak to carry one, use something less.. There are times when it fits the bill, and a .308 doesn’t not often but some.. If you are happy using something in the .308 do so... I want to make the most of any chance I get so I will pack my .300 if I am serious about getting my game.. If I am just out to enjoy the day, a 6mm, .300 Sava. Or 06 is fine..
