hate to bust your bubble, but I would go out on a limb and say the 30-30 may have killed more. ;)

That may be, but all I'm saying is that there's no way that the ONLY caliber to kill more elk than the 270 is the 338. What about the 06, 30-30, 300 winny, the 7 mag. 270 is the only one? No way.

Damn 30-30 should be on there.

Indeed.  heck, 32 Winchester Special too

Very poor showing for the .35 calibers, no .35 Remington, .356 Win, .358 Win, or .358 Norma mag?

Hmmm maybe because your average elk hunter has never even heard of some of them. In other words these calibers don't exactly fly off of the shelves.


Guys please, this wasn't meant to be where's this cartridge, where's that cartridge. I was doing the poll and wanted common calibers. It was to prove a point that the 300 winny and the 7mm mag are more common than the 338 win mag or the 270.

If anybody wants to start another poll please do.

I knew there'd be a few but I figured the 7mm, the 300 win. and the 30-06 would be at the top.

Well I can't vote.
While it is not on the list I use a .338 RUM first with a .300 RSAUM as a backup. Sorry to be in the "uncommon category." :hello:
