[QUOTE="tmmcampbell, post: 1526791, member: 13941"] Maybe I didn’t read close enough but I didn’t see anyone claiming you need a 300 or larger to kill an elk. I’ve heard of elephants being killed by a .22. Dead is dead. Shot placement is more important than caliber!! If I had a charging (put anything dangerous here) I would chose to defend myself with my .300 weatherby. Not because it’s the biggest or badest cartridge, it’s because I’ve shot it the most and I believe in it. I have bigger and badder rifles. I just don’t have the confidence in them like I do in old Roy. If it’s legal, and you trust it, you should use it! While we have got a little off topic OP ask which we prefer .30 or .27. Almost 2-1 prefer the 30. I’m in that group. Not because the .27 won’t kill. It will. When I hunt seriously you can bet I will be packing one of my many .30’s. I know them. I know how they shoot, and I prefer them to all others. [/QUOTE]
