Noticed at least one from around here with the same bulletproof elk thoughts.


taz on one of my early western hunts around Durango,I asked our outfitter(he had hunted all over the world and NA with lots of experience):

"John what do you think about the 270 on elk?"

"Good!", he said.

"How about the 7 Rem Mag?"

"Better!", he responded.

"And the 300 magnums?"

"Better still!" he replied.

I never forgot that. Over the years,killing elk of my own,I think he might have been right! smile

BTW he used a pre 64 M70 in 264 Win Mag for about everything,including a Grand Slam of sheep.

Old John was one of my favorite western characters. Too bad he is no longer with us. frown


Great stuff! Love it!
