[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1703475, member: 33159"] Listen, I’m not going to get into a ****ing match with you. Shot placement, distance limitations and correct bullet for the job are what trumps everything. I’ve had more outfitters tell me they’ve had more elk lost to 7 Rem Mags than anything else because guys are over confident with them. Plus, I’m tired of so many thinking a 6.5 is some magical bullet that kills Godzilla and unicorns. Bigger caliber, bigger hole, more energy. You get a little more room for error. That’s it. Do the math. I know ballistics very well, so I’ll leave it there. Maybe you think you’re smarter than everyone else. A 6.5 mm 140 gr VLD moves more than the 7mm 175 gr ELDX. I know this first hand. A 30-06 will do a fine job on elk, so it doesn’t have to be a 300 mag. [/QUOTE]
