[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1717871, member: 498"] I have killed a lot of elk with that 06. Elk can pack a lot of lead but hit right they don't die that hard. I worry more about bullet construction and weight than I do caliber. I have probably shot 8 elk with that 300. I have watched elk shot with a 338 and 375 H&H. None of them died any faster than they would have with the same shot placement from the 06. The reason I said if I were bull hunting I would use the 300 is not the caliber. It has a more powerful scope. The 300 has a 4x14 scope mounted on it. The 06 which I have had since the mid 70's has a 2x7. Hunting for a bull up in the hills one can't be as picky about the shot as shooting a cow in the hay fields. [/QUOTE]
