I personally have killed them with 30-06, 7wsm, 300 WSM, and 300 Rum. Also carried a 7 Dakota and a 300 Win Mag. I’d pick the 300. Better trajectory with an adequate bullet (likely a 200gr bonded or 165-180 mono). I do like the 7 Dakota for a flat shooting killer too. I choose flatter shooting calibers as it’s been a few elk since I’ve shot one on this side of 250 yards, 3-500 seemingly more common....
