[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1557126, member: 27192"] Well, the 300RUM certainly gets the job done IMO. Especially at the yardages you are talking about (a 220gr bullet vs the 175g 7mm will have nearly twice the "wallop" or oomph once it reaches the target... I think the 7mm should still have enough "wallop" to get the job done mind you.. but still, twice the "wallop" is sayin something for a bit more margin of error). My 14 year old took his first cow elk this year with my 300WM at 320 yards, one shot, she never took a step. The 200gr ELDX turned her lungs to soup. If you are looking for great elk hunting opportunities this year, and could make it to Idaho, shoot me a PM. I would be happy to steer you towards some great OTC hunting options in the event you don't draw per your plan. [/QUOTE]
