Best all around elk/deer caliber?

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I am really impressed with my sons .270, flat shooting and i can shoot it all day long.

I shoot a 300 win mag, i can shoot it all day long also, but i feel it.

My boy shot a cow this year right at 200 yards with his 270 and she dropped. I shot a cow @ 275 with my 300 WM and she dropped. Both worked like they were supposed to.

I am a firm believer that it is more about where you put the bullet rather than what the cross sectional density of said bullet is.

Some guys even build 7mm rugers  then they sell it and build a 6.5

The correct answer is whatever you can shoot well enough to out that bullet right in the sweet spot every single time.

The .300 RUM is about as all around as u will ever need. i have a .270win and a .300wby mag. I dont think you can go wrong with any cartridge that falls within that range.
