Is there really an elk that you guys would shoot with a 300WM that you'd not shoot at with a 30-06?
400 yds bad angle?
I've done it farther than that with an '06. And a 270. More than a few times. I'm pretty sure they were all dead. Particularly after I enjoyed the backstraps. But I like G1 ballistic coefficients well above .5. Back to this old "shoot 'em with a magnum and ping pong balls" discussion again.
