Best elk cartridge in the world is probably the one you're shooting when you fill your tag.. For years if there was a better elk cartridge than the 243 you couldn't proove it by me.. Then I started messing with the "adequate" cartridges and they work but not enough better to get excited about. These days I've got two rifles that are in contention for the best elk gun in the world, a Win 95 in 405 winchester and a 45 2.3 sharps pushing a 500+ gr paper patched bullet of original sharps style , with 80 grs of goex 1f.. 22magnum pistol in the back of the head is fairly spectacular in the timber, OR so I've heard...
the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to. www.historicshooting.com
