[QUOTE="J W Voita, post: 1553364, member: 106701"] Hey, if you want to hunt elk, my first choice is Utah. That state is hard to beat when it comes to huge bulls. That's something you probably know having lived there before. I'm 69 years old and live in Colorado, 19 miles from the Utah line. I've killed a number of elk. So many I've lost count. I've seen more than one bull killed in southern Utah that scored over 400. I have killed a number of elk with a 6mm Rem and although they were one shot kills, i would not recommend that cartridge for elk hunting. I just finished writing a letter to a friend on the use of a 6.5 Creedmore for elk hunting. To sum up that letter; the 6.5 creed is a fine cartridge, but it's not what it's being made up to be. It's also a trendy cartridge that has garnered a magic reputation fueled by a lot of BS. BTW I'm a stock maker, so I here this nonsense every day. You have already received a lot of good advice to this post. The 300 WM is a good choice and a lot of your fellow Utah elk hunters will be using that cartridge also. [/QUOTE]
