I've been hunting elk for the last few years with a Savage 1899 in .300 Savage. I haven't taken a bull with it as of yet. I hunt in the Gallatin and Madison Mountains of SW Montana and since the wolves have come in the elk hunting has become almost pointless. If I'm lucky enough to find a bull I'll be using 165 grain Partitions.

Funny you should mention wolves. Back in the early 70's I was stationed at the 716th Radar Sq in Lakeside. Back then Idaho was trying to get Montana to turn loose some wolve's in Montana. Didn't happen but years later Idaho turned them loose. Now they are in Montana, Idaho, Oregon and I hear a few in northern California. Thank Idaho!
