RE: Poll: Elk Cartridge Preferences
You don't need to be big and tough to shoot a 300 Mag. A friend of mine who is a gal about 5'5 and all of 110 lbs, hunts every other year in Africa and shoots plains game with her 270 and the bigger stuff with her husbands 416 Remington Mag. Her husband is a big guy but he is bothered much more by the recoil than she is. She is light and I guess she rolls with the punch better than he does. She also shoots the 375 H&H quite a bit. Their 416 is a Dakota rifle and is very light weigh with just a 2x7 Leupold scope on it. Thier 375 though is a very heavy old Winchester Model 70. That one just has a reciever sight.
