The answer is....there is no answer. Too many great rifle calibers out there, all have great specs. I would vote for .300RUM. I have shot dozens of deer and a few elk with a .270rem and love the caliber. Bought the RUM to handle the longer range with oompf. |

i own 3 30-06's, for a reason i guess :dunno: i think that is the all time most versatile caliber, but it's in trouble now with all the new calibers coming out in the last few years. |

Just remember to keep your shots inside about 600 yards and you will do fine. I think if more folks shot elk with fast stepping rounds blood trailing would become a lost art. you need to see a bullet going 35-3800 fps smash into an elk.....they just fold. |
