Default RE: Elk rifle opinions

ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM
If you don't reload forget the 300 RUM and wby. Limited selection of ammo and very expensive plus downloaded. If you reload buy which ever you want.
HUH???
I have both 300 and 338 RUM. I do reload but not these. Factory loads of 250 GR Core-Lokt pointed Soft Point for the 338 and 180 Grain Nolser for the 300. Both cloverleaf at 100.
Now granted they are spendy around $50 a box= $2.50 a round.
Takes 1 maybe 2 shots each year to check and 1 or 2 in the field.
Took a total of 4 shots ( 1 at range with 338 and 1 at rangewith 300 and 2 in field with300 for the Elk)this year cost 10 bucks and got my Elk.
Of course they kick like mules and don't wish fire alot with these and will save all the reload and shootingfun for the 22-250.

As for the filth mouth poster, first time I have had to use the little red hand feature.
