Question... Is it normal for a guide to require "at least a 300 WM"? The two guides I know would prefer the hunter have a 30-06 that he is comfortable with, rather than a magnum that the hunter can't shoot well. Both prefer at least a 30-06.
In my opinion, more than a few guides are trying to build the excitement of the hunt by suggesting that "bigger" cartridges are recommended. I'm confident some suspect it's harder to sell a hunt for dangerous game if you can use the same equipment that you do for whitetails on the back 40........
