I do some deer hunting with 22CFs so I'm not opposed to big game hunting with smaller calibers and good bullets. That being said, if I ever get the chance to hunt elk, I probably won't take my 243. I don't own a 7-08(a cartridge I definitely want to try out some day), but I think my 280 would be up to the task.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
