Considering selling my 300wsm that I have never shot since I bought it 15 yrs ago cause I doubt I’ll ever get a chance or afford a big game hunt
Would u get a newer 3006, 270 for a just in case elk hunt? I’m just bored thinking here on Sunday
I’m hoping to move further north when I retire but what won’t my 2506 kill in Minnesota or Wisconsin?
Unless you just want a new rifle, you already have what you need. That 300 WSM is an excellent elk caliber, plenty powerful and very accurate. It's not midway between a 30-06 and a 300 WM like some say. It's much closer to a 300 WM.
I've killed a lot of elk with a 270 but both your old '06 and the WSM have more umph.
