Thanks for your concern, but I think I can comprehend your posts, convoluted as they may be. And I will concede your point. Not the one you rolled out above saying each cartridge has its limitations, the one you made a few pages back::

In fact I'll go one further and say, you WILL notice a difference between the .308 and .300 Win. even before you shoot an elk with them.

If you use factory ammo, you WILL notice that the .300 Win ammo costs more.

If you reload, you WILL notice that it takes more powder to fill the .300 Win. case.

When you take a cartridge out of the box, you WILL notice that the .300 Win case is bigger.

And when you pull the trigger, you WILL notice that the .300 WIn. has more recoil.


But as far as answering the OP's question, I can't do it because I haven't used both to shoot elk with. How about you?
