In the last 6 or so years the camp at which I’m a grateful attendee has killed elk with:
270 Win
7 Rem Mag
7 Mashburn
30-06
300 Win Mag
300 Weatherby
338 Win Mag
Bullets are mostly of the Partition, Accubond, Scirocco variety.
All elk died.
I’d put the 30-06 at the bottom. Heard that one barely died.....
