BB, would it be safe to assume you are a 300WSM owner?

The300WSM and 300WinMagare close to being an even heat, so put 'em in a bag, shake them up, and pull one out, or just go with your fancy.
.
Honestly though, if I was stepping up from a 30-06 or .308 and still staying with the 30 cal.family I'd step up enough to really make a significant difference in performance for my trouble. I personallywould go straight to a 300 Remington Ultra Mag in a heart beat.

** Long Fat Cartridges and a Massive Action (heart warming)
** No belts (if that really an issue, I kinda like 'em myself, never had any problems) [H&H lineage signature]
** Heavy rifles (so they hold nice and steady when you pull down on something) (leavethe weight onmy rifle andkeep the pounds off ofmy gut.)
**Outstanding Performance

Either one of the earlier two is a nice rifle thoughand all are quite suitable for elk.Good man, I'm proud of you.
