30-06 killed my only elk. It was very punishing to the rib cage! I have used my 270win the last two years with out firing at one.

I think the .458 Lott would be ideal for me....just need to get one.  Until then I'll keep using a .338-378 Mag.

Those are darn expensive factory loads!

That's why I reload. 8)  A box of 20 reloads is less than a box of 20 'premium' factory loads for my '06.

If i am rifle hunting the 7mm mag has been my choice lately
But i prefer the 125grain broadheads..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I started with .32 winchester special for the first few...30-06 after that.

Have a 300WM and a .338WM waiting in the wings...

and a .375 H&H if i get bored.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

Whatta ya mean I can't have one of each?

What we have here is...Washington Department of NO Fish and WATCHABLE Wildlife.
 
WDFW is going farther and farther backwards....we need FISH AND GAME back!
