My Grandad has killed a pretty good pile of elk and a train car full of deer. His only centerfire rifle is a 721 in 30/06, bought it in the 50’s when he was in the army. Chose the 30/06 because he was familiar with it from shooting the Garand.
He’s always liked 165gr ammo and prefers boat tails. Wouldn’t really matter though as every elk I’ve seen him kill was shot right behind the ear.
