When you hunt Elk somewhere, such as the Yellowstone park border in Wyoming, where an elk going a few feet past where you want can mean a lost animal, I'll take a Magnum... I like the 7mm Rem Mag, .300 & .338 Win Mag, and do truly favor the .300 and .340 Weatherby Mag rounds for this purpose... Any similar rounds also work well... There are some situations when power is warranted.. The problem with this power is that there are some who can't harness it and place their shots well...
