I got to say I agree. Use the 7 and spend your money on something worth while. I highly doubt you or anyone else could tell the diffrence between an elk shot with a 7mag and a 325WSM or anything in between for that matter. I've seen em tip over after taking a 6mm slug to the heart, and have seen them run for 3-400 yards after being shot through the ribs with 338cals. They're all diffrent. One thing that has remained constant in all the kills I've witnessed however... Put on through the ribs and you'll soon be packing elk meat.
