Not any more. I never killed an elk with mine anyway.
My cousin indicated he had killed 47 of them when he died a few years ago in his 70's. Of those around 30 with the .300 Savage. No special bullet or anything. He was a guide and packer until at least the late 60's.
He especially liked the Savage for use in saddle scabbards. He also used a 270 and an '06,and in his last couple of years a .300 Win Mag.
