How about this for a hypothetical question: ---More like a couple of questions
You have won a lottery draw for a rut elk hunt on one of the big southwestern reservations. All expenses paid.
Shots can be inside 50yds to as far as the eye can see and the bulls are 350++ but as always the big boys (380+) are scarce and wary.
What rifle/cartridge/bullet would you choose???----Probably my Model 70 FW, '06, 180 NPT. If not, my Model 70 Classic .338 Win Mag, 225 gr TBBC,
What shots would you be willing to take with your cartridge of choice regarding range and angle??----First shot-standing-quartering to me or better? 300 yards.
The point is instead of worrying about adequate let�s talk about what is the absolute best elk cartridge in the world??
---Different question. I have another Model 70, a .300 Weatherby. It shoots 5/8 groups most of the time. With 200 grain NPT it is my nominee. It isn't my choice currently as I haven't shot it enough to get used to it yet.
