If you can handle the additional recoil the I would advise anyone to shoot all the gun they can..You can be under gunned but never over gunned...
I know for a fact that a 250 Savage will kill elk or a 25-35 for that matter, but in todays world with costly pack in hunts, they fact that you don't see many elk as a rule, etc..one never makes a mistake with the larger bores, but only if he can handle the recoil...My elk rifle is the 338 Win. is does its work under any conditions and I don't pass up shots that a lesser rifle might dictate, especially going away shots..You might not see another bull in Idaho if you pass one up these days, but you might get several wolves!! :):)
