I've killed elk with a 257Wby/100TSX, 270Win/140TSX and 150 ABLR, and 300WinMag w/200 Partitions and 200TSX's.

I've seen elk killed while I was sitting right next to the shooter with 338Win/210 Partitions and 210 TTSX, 7Rem Mag/160 Partitions, and 280AI 150TTSX.

I'll pay the weight and recoil penalty and continue to carry my 300Win for elk.

I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
