There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I have THE ONE.
Normally people who think they have THE ONE really irritate me, but after long thought on the topic and observation of this thread, I know THE ANSWER.
The best elk cartridge in the world is the one the rifle I'm holding is chambered to when the elk I want (which at this point is a pretty broad statement, seeing as I've never even hunted elk before) steps in front of me.
9,3x57, .338-06 A-Square, .325 WSM, .30-06, 7x57, 6.5-.284 Norma, or .257 AI would be the exhaustive list of possibilities for me at this point, but give it a year and I'm sure a few more will be added to the list .
