I happen to like the .338 WM and the .340 Bee Mag, but I have killed elk with the .30-06 and with the 7mm Mag. I also lost an elk with a 7mm Rem Mag. He was well shot and just did not know it. I also shot an elk 3 times with a 180 grain Fail Safe, .30-06 in the lungs before he expired.
So, nowadays with all the other hunters on public land, I like the .338's for bang flop elk hunting!
