It's always interesting that on these threads many people make a big point of about precisely or carefull placing a shot with the .25-06--or whatever "too light" cartridge is being discussed.
The implication is that with bigger cartridges such careful shot placement isn't necessary. I know that's not what most posters want to imply, but there it is.
My experience is that with CAREFUL shot placement about any cartridge meant for big game will kill elk neatly--and that no cartridge kills elk very well with "non-careful" bullet placement.
JB: True.......I know from personal experience that improperly "driven" 300 mags do NOT get good results.
I think that bigger cartridges can give pretty dramatic results, but ONLY if properly directed.....and with good boolits.
